First off I'll put this in the unconfirmed rumor category for the moment and hope that I am right. If some of the folks ffrom Fotoimpex and others that sell rebranded Forte film make any confirming posts then I will begin to mourn. Second, with all due respect to the possible truth of the original post, it is tough to swallow when I think of all the Forte film that is sold by others and rebranded as their own. Next, even if true it may not be the end of the world. It could be an opportunity for some of the other European film manufacturers to enter the sheet film market if they see a niche that can earn €'s that has become a void worth filling. Finally, while I have never used any of the films produced by Chinese companies I am willing to give them a chance.
I do hope I am not being overly optimistic.
First; who do you really think you are that you think they going or should to inform you? Second; they are all busy to repack low quality Russian or Chinese film in their boxes. Third; it never was their intention to tell you anything from the beginning!
Because you are as you sound and don't read things at all and you told me before that I'm on you ignore list! So why even bother?
This letter come to me from Forte and I advise you to read it! It had been published on the first page as the answer to Firecrocker
Dear xxxxxx.
To our greatest regret we have to advise you that the owners have come to the decision to stop the production of Forte photographic products by January 26th, 2007 definitely.
The factory established by George Eastman as a Kodak Factory in 1922, as well its successors have been manufacturing mainly black & white photo films and papers of superior/high quality especially with warm tone, in a very wide range.
During the past decade the demand for black & white photo products felt back drastically due to the fast technological development, that is confirmed even by the sales figures of your country.
The factory has been working with huge overcapacities, and on a large piece of ground, with uneconomical infrastructure resulting in continuous losses.
Considering the above, the long negotiations with several potential industrial investors have failed.
We thank you for your several years’/decades’ smooth and fruitful co-operation, and wish you good success in the future.
Best regards,
Béla Kummer, Gen. Manager László Varga, Com. Adviser Edit Stirling, Area Manager Attila Ollé,Area Manager
