The situation regarding Ilford is: the UK business has been the subject of a successful management buyout, is now known as Ilford Photo and will continue producing almost all the analogue products associated with Ilford including powdered chemicals such as ID11, Ilfochrome paper, as well as the usual films and papers. Ilford Photo hold the rights to all the well known Ilford formulae and still retain the manufacturing facility at Mobberley in Cheshire UK although I understand that they are not the owners they lease it. The new directors who are all long term employees of the old Ilford comapny, see analogue photography materials as the main core of their business. I have no idea at present whether they intend to move into the digital market place although I know that they have agreed a contract with Ilford Switzerland to continue to produce digital paper for them. This information was given to me in a conversation with the directors at the recent Focus show in the UK. Ilford Photo have no connection with any other Ilford company in any part of the world and I do believe that Ilford America and Switzerland are still up for sale.
