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.[1][2] 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.[3][4]
The ADOX name traces back to the oldest photographic film manufacturer in the world, started in 1860 in Germany.[5] 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.

AgfaPhoto
The AGFA consumer film division with its plant in Leverkusen, Germany was spun off by Agfa-Gevaert into a new company AGFA PHOTO 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.[16] Since 2005 these rights for consumer film products have been sub-licensed to Lupus Imaging & Media.[17] 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 AGFA stock. Ferrania closed in 2009. Replacement color films were supplied by Fujifilm until this contract ended in early 2018,[18] ending the sale of color film under the AgfaPhoto brand.[19] Black & White films were replaced by new films made by Harman Technology after 2013.

Based in USA 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 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.

ORWO
ORiginal WOlfen ORWO is a brand of black and white film products, made in Germany. Once part of AGFA, the partition of Germany saw the company divided, the East German company becoming VEB Film und Chemiefaserwerk Agfa Wolfen, which later adopted the brand ORWO in 1964. The company was privatised in 1990 as ORWO AG, but film production ceased in 1994 following the liquidation of the company. One of the successor companies, ORWO FilmoTec GmbH was founded in 1998 to produce high quality black and white cinema and technical films, based in Wolfen including the Camera films UN54 and N75 (List of motion picture film stocks) which are widely re-packaged for still film use. In 2020 FilmoTec was brought under common ownership with part of film manufacturer InovisCoat GmbH, also based in Germany to offer products for the film industry under the traditional brand “ORWO”.[172] A trademark dispute resulted in use of Original Wolfen branding instead. In 2022 they announced the introduction of a 'still' camera black and white film and a new colour film.[173]

Polaroid
Polaroid B.V. is a Dutch photography company that was founded in 2008 as the 'Impossible Project' to re-introduce instant film for Polaroid cameras. Impossible bought the production machinery from Polaroid for $3.1 million[180] and leased a building, called Building Noord, which was formerly part of the Polaroid plant in Enschede, Netherlands but had to re-invent the emulsions and processes. Polaroid Corporation's brand and intellectual property were acquired by Impossible Project's largest shareholder in 2017 and the company was later renamed 'Polaroid Originals' before becoming 'Polaroid' in 2020.[181][182] Based in Enschede, Polaroid manufactures film for its own and selected original Polaroid instant cameras. Instant films are marketed by format rather than emulsion.

Svema (Astrum)
Founded in Soviet times in 1931, the Svema film factory and chemical plant in Shostka, Ukraine was once the second largest film producer in Europe. Final coating of X-ray films occurred in 2003 and the plant closed completely in 2005. After attempts by the state to sell the business, bankruptcy processes were completed in 2015. The coating machinery was sold for scrap and the main buildings were demolished ca. 2018. However, a decade prior to closure, a small group of Svema employees had founded Astrum holdings in a rented building on the site in 1995, buying bulk film from various sources which they converted and packaged, for retail sale. Originally sold under the Astrum name (film expiring up to 2019), they later acquired rights to the Svema trademark and now apply the name to a range of films for nostalgic value.[215] (Tasma for NK-2). The current range comprises polyester (thin) base films of the kind used for aerial/surveillance photography. Potential suppliers include Agfa-Gevaert and Tasma.[216][217]
