Sony is officially moving away from physical media production at its Thalgau, Austria facility, its last dedicated disc factory. In a significant industrial pivot, the company has invested in repurposing the plant to manufacture microlenses, a move that secures the future of its 300-person workforce through comprehensive retraining. This transition marks a symbolic end for PlayStation’s physical manufacturing legacy as the market increasingly embraces digital downloads, while Sony leverages the site's precision engineering capabilities for the growing optical sensor market.
