c_watson1 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Hoping they can pull off an Ilford-style recovery: Tetenal, one of the world's largest photographic chemical manufacturers is shutting down after 172 years - DIY Photography Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny_rane Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I do not own a digital camera. So, for me, Tetenal is VERY Concerning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Rickards Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 The problem for us is the amount of custom manufacturing they did for e.g.Ilford and Kodak.At present they still have a way to go before they even know whether the proposed management buy out will get through the German courts.If it does, there's bound to be some interruption to production. At the moment I'd recommend keeping fingers and toes crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jose_angel Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Very bad news. It means lower quality, higher prices, less options, at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Luttmann Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 And in other news, Tetenal isn't going anywhere. All is well NEW TETENAL taking over operations and production from insolvent parent company ~ EMULSIVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny_rane Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Thea's certainly good news IF it falls into place. It sounds like they are all set. but it is a Press Release. I have seen much simpler buy-outs, than this one, go sour. It's best to keep our fingers crossed, and wait and see.....IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All is well NEW TETENAL taking over operations and production from insolvent parent company ~ EMULSIVE Good news but I'd keep the bubbly cold and uncorked till the bankers weigh in. That reads like a comfort letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Luttmann Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Good news but I'd keep the bubbly cold and uncorked till the bankers weigh in. That reads like a comfort letter. The Insolvency Administrator has accepted the proposal. It is already a done deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antoniobravo Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 this thread title scared me a bit.... I am back to film since last year and home developing since few months. C-41 Tetenal is the only reasonable option I have here in Norway, because due to the silly European Union regulations, Rollei and Digibase (excepted the ready to use kit) can't be shipped by air outside the EU (shipments of small orders from EU located online shops are by air...). The couple local resellers of color chemistry that we have here don't stock Rollei or Digibase only Tetenal. I'm not far from swedish border ie. EU zone, so I can ride to Stockholm once in a while, otherwise I can buy and get shipped to nearest poste restante office accross the border, but it's not so convenient. Maybe EU could go down before Tetenal :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripmonkey Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 +1 for panicking a bit. I've just stocked up on a nice mix of colour films to shoot with my newly serviced Hasselblad. I have a part used C41 kit at home that I don't know how much longer will be good for. Fingers crossed production starts again soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
