General news: why is there no Tetenal and hardly any Kodak chemistry at present? This is the best info we can offer: Tetenal have moved head office to Hamburg after their chemical supplier went bust, and are re-sourcing from more than one European supplier. Supplies are expected to resume this autumn. Kodak Alaris sold the Kodak paper and chemistry business to their Chinese manufacturer for the Asia/Pacific market, Sino Promise, in 2020. Rumours now persist that Sino Promise is in financial trouble, so there's no likelihood of further supplies of XTOL and HC-110 in the near future. At the moment we have some D-76 in 1L packs, and T-Max dev. Kodak Alaris (sole shareholder, the UK Government) is now itself for sale. We can only hope that Eastman Kodak step up to the mark and take back film (and maybe the chemistry and paper) ownership. After all, they make all the film in EK's Rochester HQ.
