Sony's Thalgau plant in Austria, which currently produces 600,000 discs daily—half for PlayStation—will significantly reduce its production to 10% of that volume by 2028. Dietmar Tanzer, president of Sony DADC, stated that the company plans to retrain all 300 employees at the facility to focus on optical microlenses instead. The Thalgau plant is the headquarters of Sony's disc-making division and is reportedly the only wholly owned disc manufacturing facility remaining.
