Dude..I'm with you. I was brought right back to the day Forte went kaput.

Put the car in park. What happened to Forte?

They went kaput some time back. That is what happened to them. Any film/paper you see with the Forte name is coming from old stock.

Forte were bought by asset strippers who had more interest in selling the site for re-development than trying to save the company.

The Forte plant manufactured products for Bergger, these or rather a new range of products are now made by Harman Technology (Ilford) to Bergger's specifications. Details can be found on the Bergger website.

Ian you are right.
Moreover, I can say that Bergger is about to reintroduce to of their films: BRF 200 and BRF 15. But I can't say where they will be made. In my opinion there are two possibilities: Harman, or Foma. Maybe Filmotec, but less probably. I think that Bergger does not want to communicate about that point. I love the mysteries of the analog world

Yet another example why none of us should ever believe everything we read on the web!
