Conectiv, Guadalajara, Mexico

This profile refers to an optical disc and vinyl manufacturing plant located in Guadalajara, Mexico, active under this name since 1 April 2025. The plant was previously active as Vantiva, Guadalajara, Mexico, and was renamed after Vantiva SA sold its Supply Chain Solutions division (which ran its media manufacturing business) to Los Angeles-based Variant Equity.

Conectiv is not explicitly named in the disc matrix, but can be identified as outlined below.

Optical Media:
Matrix: (AAAAAA) [release-specific information] BB CCCC
Mastering SID codes: IFPI L771, IFPI LW86, IFPI LV77
Mould SID codes: IFPI KK**

· AAAAAA is a 6- or 7-digit matrix number which can be entered in LCCN with a Glass Mastered At role
--> discs manufactured for Mexican release follow a 6-digit numbering scheme 9#####, while discs intended for US or other territories follow a 7-digit scheme 1######
· BB is a variable 2- or 3-digit number that probably identifies the glass master (i.e. the first glass master for this release, a second glass master if the first was damaged or exhausted)
· CCCC is a 4- to 6-digit number that is often stamped over the mirror band rather than printed and may identify the stamper

LCCN roles:
Glass Mastered At (with matrix number AAAAAA) -- when one of the mastering SID codes above is present
Pressed By -- when mould SID code IFPI KK** is present

Vinyl:
The same (AAAAAAA) 7-digit matrix scheme is used, with sequential numbering across vinyl sides (e.g. 1234567 on Side A and 1234568 on Side B).
Sometimes the jacket will carry a 'Made in Mexico' sticker or have 'Vinyl made in Mexico' ink-stamped on the shrinkwrap.

LCCN roles:
