Currently ranked the UK’s 10th largest distributor, Plastic Head has come a long way in its 15 year existence. Started from Director Steve Beatty’s bedroom at his parent's house, the company currently employs 40 people, exclusively handles sales and distribution in the UK for 170 record and DVD labels (over 30,000 titles), a range of over 3,000 titles of merchandise and 4,000 titles of specialist vinyl from limited edition 7 inch box sets, picture discs to electronic 12’s. The company is also unusual in the fact that it owns its own business premises.
Plastic Head, although known for being specialist in rock genres, carries a diverse range of music and DVD titles. Plastic Head is a music distributor, not a carrier of “product”. Extreme Metal to Hip hop, Techno to Reggae, Ambient chill out to Hardcore Punk, it matters not, but quality is top priority.
