Nederlandse Gramofoonplatenfabriek

Pressing plant (originally for shellac, later vinyl) in Heemstede, the Netherlands, founded in 1948 by Gerry Oord.

Oord's company Electric & Musical Industries Ltd. provided both financial and logistic , providing the equipment and personnel to install them. Construction took place throughout 1948 and by December the first records were pressed. The plant started with two fully-automatic presses and soon expanded to five. Fabrication of moulds provided more of a technical challenge so initially these had to be shipped directly from England by HMV, Columbia and Parlophone.

The projected capacity for the first year was 400,000 records. In 1950 the "long-player" format was introduced and more domestic repertoire was added to the catalogue (which until then had been mostly focused on works for musical education). By that year production had risen to a weekly output of 20,000 records; and two years later this had doubled. Bovema was now servicing the whole Benelux market and exporting to , Indonesia and the West Indies. It had acquired manufacturing licenses from a.o. Regal. The original location at Binnenweg 72c proved too small and in April 1956 the factory moved to a larger building located at nearby Blekersvaartweg 45, where nine presses were installed.

By the end of the 1960s Bovema was looking to expand again and finally settled on a new premises at the Tulpenkade in nearby Haarlem. In the autumn of 1970 the move took place and a new pressing plant was set up in Haarlem, N.V. Cruquius.

The company's legal name was N.V. Nederlandse Gramofoonplatenfabriek. "Nederlandse" was sometimes shortened to "Ned."

Manager of the pressing plant was M.E.D. Koster.
