  next Europe trip planned for February 2027. CEO contact and Marsta
  address added.
- OMS (Lou Wullms, 7 Oct): first email contact, company data, contacts
  (Lou Wullms technical, Wilma Peeters accounting/logistics); open: reply
  to confirm, then OMS sends material to calculate from.
- SST Frankfurt (Daniel Krieger, 7 Oct): cut the lacquers for POY003,
  005, 006 and 013; on good terms with ResurRec; offered help. New cutting
  service entry in the supplier map and vendor landscape; corrected the
  briefing, which had SST as DMM (its site lists lacquer and dubplates).

+## Lacquer cutting service: Schallplatten Schneid Technik (Germany)
+
+[Schallplatten Schneid Technik](https://www.sst-ffm.de/) (SST, Frankfurt
+am Main) is an independent cutting studio founded in 1969 by Albert
+Brüggemann and run by Daniel Krieger since 2011. Per its website (checked
+October 2026): two cutting rooms on last-generation Neumann systems, one
+of them the last Neumann ever built; lacquers in 7", 10" and 12" for
+industrial pressing and dubplates in 10" and 12", at 16⅔ to 78 rpm;
+half-speed, locked-groove and inside-out cuts; mastering only as moderate
+corrections in agreement with the customer. The site lists lacquer, not
+DMM.
+
+SST is already a Poy Records supplier: Daniel Krieger found in SST's
+archive that it cut the lacquers for POY003, 005, 006 and 013. He met
+Simona and Alexander in Haarlem, offered to help with the plant (email,
+7 October 2026), and is on good terms with ResurRec's Sarit and his
+mastering partner Chalotorn. What it means for the plan: a known lacquer
+source for the launch phase, when cutting is bought in and stampers come
+from the bridge supplier ([production timeline](../production-timeline.md)),
+and a long-running cutting room to ask about Neumann-era equipment, room
+design and engineer training before the Agnew or Sillitoe decision.
+Lacquer travels worse than nickel (production timeline), so a Frankfurt
+cut fits a European stamper service (Stamper Discs, OMS) better than
+plating in Thailand.
