ADOX
The current rights to the historic ADOX name were obtained in 2003 by Fotoimpex of Berlin, Germany, a company founded in 1992 to import photographic films and papers from the former Eastern Bloc. ADOX (Fotoimpex) subsequently established a film factory in Bad Sarrow outside Berlin to convert and package films, papers and chemicals. In February 2015 they acquired use of the former Ilford Imaging (Ciba Geigy) machine E, medium scale coating line at Marly, Switzerland. From 2017 to 2018 they doubled the size of the Bad Sarrow factory to be able to install film coating capability (still in progress in 2024) and medium scale photochemistry manufacture. The ADOX name traces back to the oldest photographic film manufacturer in the world, started in 1860 in Germany. In the 1970s, Dupont the owners of the Adox brand sold the recipes and machinery of their B&W films to Fotokemika in Croatia who continued to produce the films under the Efke brand. The films were subsequently imported by Fotoimpex and sold as ADOX CHS Art thus re-uniting the ADOX name with the films. After Fotokemikas closure in 2012, ADOX CHS II was produced for ADOX using modern cascade coating and since then the range of products has been expanded.

Agfa-Gevaert
Agfa-Gevaert is headquartered in Mortsel, Belgium and following the sale of its consumer films division (See AgfaPhoto), now only manufactures commercial films; 'Aviphot' for aerial photography and 'Copex' archival microfilms (since 2013 Copex films are branded 'Imagelink' for Eastman Park Micrographics). Some of these films are however repackaged for consumer use by Maco under its Rollei brand and by Japan Camera Hunter, Silberra and ADOX. ==AgfaPhoto==
AgfaPhoto
The Agfa consumer film division with its plant in Leverkusen, Germany was spun off by Agfa-Gevaert into a new company AgfaPhoto in 2004. At buy out the firm was split into a holding company Agfa-Photo Holding GMBH (licenses) and manufacturing company Agfa-Photo GMBH (leverkusen). The manufacturing company went bankrupt in 7 months resulting in the closure of the Leverkusen plant in 2005. The holding company was unaffected and retains a trademark license from Agfa-Gevaert for the use of the AgfaPhoto brand and 'red dot' logo on products having a photographic application. Since 2005 these rights for consumer film products have been sub-licensed to Lupus Imaging & Media. The color negative and slide films were made by Ferrania from 2005, whilst black and white films were converted by Ferrania from stored master rolls of Agfastock. Ferrania closed in 2009. Replacement color films were supplied by Fujifilm until this contract ended in early 2018, ending the sale of color film under the AgfaPhoto brand. Black & White films were replaced by new films made by Harman Technology after 2013. Black and white negative films Color negative films == Argenti ==

CineStill
Based in the US, CineStill was established in 2012 and converts Eastman Kodak motion picture stock into 135 and 120 still camera formats. Color stock is suitable for C-41 process in labs as it is produced by Eastman Kodak under contract without the normal Remjet backing, a separate lubricating and Anti-halation backing used to protect the film in motion picture cameras. This means that the films lack the normal anti-halation layer also found in still camera film resulting in a characteristic 'glow' in highlights due to the internal reflection back through the film in the camera.

Ferrania
FILM Ferrania s.r.l. is a photographic film manufacturing company located in Ferrania (Liguria), Italy. Following closure of the original Ferrania factory in 2009 the company was re-founded in 2013 following a kickstarter campaign and support from the regional government to build a new film manufacturing base using the former Ferrania Research Laboratory (L.R.F.) and its narrow coater. Although initial plans focused on re-introducing a color slide film, FILM Ferrania commenced manufacturing a B&W still film in February 2017 based on P30, a classic 1960s motion picture film stock, being a simpler proposition. Production of the P30 'Alpha' ceased in mid 2018 due to further works to the L.R.F building and need to refine production to reduce wastage and P30 production did not recommence until late 2019. Orto, a new Orthochromatic film was launched in 2023 followed by P33, a 160-ISO panchromatic film with more flexibility than P30, in 2024. == Film Photography Project ==
