BAD NEWS FOR ANALOG PHOTOGRAPHERS ~ Tải Phần Mềm

I fondly remember the Tetenal 'Neofin Blue' film developer that was supplied in small glass ampules that had to be opened by using a small saw that was supplied with the chemicals, to saw off the top of the glass ampule. These glass ampules have long been replaced by plastic ones, but they contain still the same formula of developer.

Tetenal is also known for other home developing chemicals and kits. What it lesser known is the fact that Tetenal also supplied bulk chemicals for film and paper to major photographic companies like Kodak and Ilford for instance.

In September 2018, Tetenal filed a petition to open insolvency proceedings. Up to now, business operations have continued unrestricted thanks to the active commitment of employees and the loyalty of regular customers. Besides a previously initiated investor search process was continued. The company set this in motion more than a year ago. Unfortunately an investor could not be found

In view of this a settlement is now being initiated. This gives customers the opportunity to place their last orders. Probably in April 2019 the location Norderstedt, Germany will be closed.

The insolvency affects about 100 employees. More than half of the employees are still working as part of the production.

Employees of Tetenal have joined together to form an initiative that works on a concept of how they will be able to provide proven Tetenal products or develop new products in the future .

The foreign subsidiaries in England, France and Poland are not directly affected by the bankruptcy.

How this will affect their former clients like Kodak, Ilford etc. remains to be seen.
