OUR STORY
Music has always been a part of Juan’s life in a variety of ways. He’s been in a DCI drum corps (nerd!), a garage band (ska) turned signed and touring musical act (pop rock with horns), and studied audio engineering at The University of Texas, Austin (hook ’em). Most recently, Juan has dedicated himself to being an audio engineer, as well as teaching the craft to college students.
When Juan and his retired band decided to press an old album for a reunion show, he dove head first into the world of vinyl record pressing. He became obsessed… and he learned a lot. Based on that pressing experience, he felt the urge to join the vinyl manufacturing industry and structure his business in such a way that pressing a record wouldn’t be out of reach for growing artists or those who truly care about giving fans music they can hold.
Juan lives in Nacogdoches, Texas with his wonderful spouse, and two, perfect (if a bit wild) children.

We’ve installed brand new record presses from Viryl Technologies, capable of pressing a variety of colors and effects.
Future employees of Montclaire Pressing: Fischer-Lopez brothers. Give them a couple a years.
