ORWO Media GmbH was never involved in film manufacture or marketing.

Not sure if it was the same company but I recall buying some ORWO 125 which I think came from J+C Photo. It was marked "ORWO media" but had a resemblance to FP4. This was made before the ILFORD reorg. The edge printing was not like ILFORD however so it was packed by "Someone Else", not any of the usual suspects.

Thank you for correcting me.
I thought that was still at the times of old Orwo (though turned capitalistic now...)
Orwo Media was a photo-lab company, their successor is now very successful in that field. Maybe though they took over that rebranded film from Orwo.

AFAIR from the Fotoimpex catalog years ago there was Orwo 125 and 400 which was rebranded FP4 and HP5.

I remember using some of that Orwopan 125, which I got hold of in some roundabout way.
