This invesrment company thing is tricky. Some other materials praised here at Apug are made by manufacturers backed by investment companies. Maybe we would lack those materials if the manufacturers would have to rely on bank money.
Hopefully we will have a giant solar storm and everybody will be directly responsible for their own needs and welfare. Corporate savvy and paper shuffling will have no value then....EC
After being owned by a prodction company (Oji Paper from Japan) for about 5 years Ilford Imaging has been sold to a british investment company (Paradigm):

I agree, but it's a crappy way for people to live. Investment companies are only interested in shuffling papers around, what happens if the investment company wakes up and finds that Ilford Imaging can make them a quick little profit if they sell the scrap metal and the real estate? People made better wealth in the past by employing people and making products than the robber barons of this century are making corporate raids. The people of the industrialized world deserve the financial instability we have now because we have let the giant corporate culture evolve. The people in developing counties deserve what they WILL get when the same corporations forsake them. Hopefully we will have a giant solar storm and everybody will be directly responsible for their own needs and welfare. Corporate savvy and paper shuffling will have no value then....EC

Yep, more corporate crap. The citizens of the entire world need to force corporations to profit from making things and not financial moves...Evan Clarke
Wow, I know that winter has returned around here and that Milwaukee got some snow, but this is the worst case of cabin fever I have heard of.
No a much worse case was when Wolf Larsen thought Charlie had become a chicken in "The Gold Rush" and chased him round the cabin with an axe.

I have days like that but without hallucinating chickens
Seems so, it's a niche market. I read about the French Army using it and that's why Ilford (Oji) said it would be manufactured until 2020 at least. Because their contract ends there.I'm sure the Ilfochrome line is not very profitable...
I fear this may mean "goodbye to Ilfochrome". I would like to be wrong about this.

This is not Ilford Photo, but it is the company responsible for Ilfochrome.
