Date of Investment

In April 2004, Dubilier & Co. acquired a majority ownership stake in Optical Disc Corporation (ODC), based in Santa Fe Springs, California.  Dubilier & Co. subsequently acquired one of its largest competitors, U.K.-based Nimbus Technology and Engineering.  With facilities in the U.S. and Asia, the consolidated operation, ODC Nimbus is one of the largest equipment providers in the optical disc industry. ODC Nimbus develops and manufacturers high-quality mastering equipment for the production of CDs, DVDs and next-generation optical discs that are used by optical media manufacturers worldwide.  The company also provides specialized mastering services to optical disc technology and format developers.  The company’s equipment is highly specialized, generating in excess of $1 million USD per piece of equipment.

Investment Strategy

The combined entity brings together two formerly competitive technologies, which has enabled ODC Nimbus to develop one of the only equipment systems that is currently capable for Blu-ray and HD DVD production. With its new equipment influencing over 75 percent of all discs produced for the HD DVD format, ODC Nimbus anticipates that it will maintain and grow its existing leadership position for new format equipment.  Dubilier & Co. believes that Blu-ray is at the beginning of its product life cycle.  As this new format evolves similarly to CD and DVD, ODC Nimbus will benefit from a powerful technology base and market leadership position.
