Although this is a commercial message it is probably of interest to
those of you that have used Agfa chemicals in the past. So, PF HQ
decided this was of general interest in spite of its commercial content
and is forwarding FYI. The note came from: s.junghans@xxxxxxxx

Hamburg-Stapelfeld, Germany
Today, we would like to inform you, that the production of AGFA b&w
photo chemistry will continue. Good news from the change of ownership of
the factory in Vaihingen (Germany).
Successful efforts were made to convince the new owner of the chemical
factory in Vaihingen, where Agfa chemicals have been produced for many
decades, to continue production of the well known and proven Agfa
chemicals. The formulas will remain unchanged. The continuation of
production is the result of a close and trustful cooperation between
the new ownership and a specialized company for photo chemistry packing.
With this decision the new ownership make the commitment to supply the
worldwide BW community with the established AGFA BW photo chemistry
represented by these products:
Rodinal: Legendary film developer.
Studional: Film machine developer. (1:1-Rodinal Special)
Neutol NE: Neutral tone paper developer.
Neutol WA: Warme tone paper developer.
Sistan: Silver stabilizer.
Agefix: Fixer.
Agefix Plus: Super concentrate Fixer.
Agepon: Wetting agent
Viradon: Toner.
Supply will be through established distribution partners. For example
FREESTYLE in the States.
In the USA Freestyle has original Agfa Rodinal bottles in stock.
In Canada the importer is Blazes AGFA and have b&w photo chemistry in stock.
In all other countries the dealers, who sell Rollei-Film and Maco

glad to help you.
"Rodinal is Agfa’s trademark name for their concentrated film developer
formula, patented by Dr. Momme Andresen in 1891. It is the oldest
continuously-produced developer formula in the world."
