Almost all the Kodak black and white chemicals appear to be manufactured by Tetenal in Germany.

I'm not sure where the European Kodak chemicals were manufactured before the bankruptcy, but in North America they were manufactured by Champion either in the former Kodak facilities in Rochester, or at various other locations around the world.

Champion was owed a lot of money in the Eastman Kodak bankruptcy.

Thanks, Matt. I wouldn't be surprised with all these business and lawerly shenanigans.

I mean, really, chemicals for film and paper processing are public domain or well known. It boils down to who can make them with decent quality control, pricing, etc. Which is also ancient history.

Since I mix my own, those issues don't matter to me except as business/photo interest.
