They produce several own-brand papers (Bergger, Tetenal, Adox Variotone & Easy Print...) and films. I suspect the same for the aforementioned Silverchrome, however the chemistry is made in Japan which puzzles me.As far as I know Ilford don't sell paper to any other company to be sold as 'branded' paper. They took over Kentmere and reduced the range including the exceptionally good fibre based multigrade to promote the Ilford brand. On this principal I think it is highly unlikely they will sell papers to other companies.
I saw some sample envelopes in Amsterdam and believe it is made by Ilford Japan.
Agx, just because the boxes look incredibly similar in design.
macfred, that is why I showed both packagings, that of the paper in question and that of a different paper made/distributed by Ilford (Japan).
Yes, I assume the paper in question comes frome there. But as indicated it seems rather veiled by themselves... and actual manufacturer is not clear either.
Thanks for summarizing so well!macfred, that is why I showed both packagings, that of the paper in question and that of a different paper made/distributed by Ilford (Japan).

To make it clear for other readers who by now may have got confused:
Anything manufactured by "Ilford" since about six years comes from Japan.
Anything manufactured by or designated as "IlfordPhoto" comes from England.
Anything designated "Ilford" may come from either of them. (As the Japanese own the brand, but the English got it licenced by them.)
Problem though is that the japanese products not all got "Ilford" on the packaging front, some only the prefix Ilfo-, some even not anything Iford related at all, except the design...
Basically that is the problem we got since the splitting of Ilford 20 years ago, but now even more complicated by products not even having got an Ilford designation.
I don't think anybody here at Photrio is that naive.There is no new "Silverchrome photo paper factory" installed. Just to be clear for those who might have hoped for another new coating plant.

Sorry, but don't you need actual hard proof to be 100% sure? Photos of shelves with stocked products are not it.I'm now 100% sure Silvechrome is a new ILFORD (not Harman!) silver-based paper, and not some German own-brand product as I wrongly suggested in my OP. There are several FB posts showing boxes of Silverchrome paper next to Galery and other ILFORD ink-jet products.
