FACT SHEET

Who owns ILFORD?
Earlier this year (2005) UK based Harman Technology Limited and the 
Japanese Company Oji Paper Limited both purchased different parts of the 
ILFORD business.

ILFORD’s black and white manufacturing facility in the United Kingdom 
underwent a management buy out by Harman Technology in February of this 
year and in July ILFORD Imaging’s digital manufacturing facility in 
Marly, Switzerland was acquired by the Japanese paper company Oji Paper.

The ILFORD brand is owned by the Swiss company, ILFORD Imaging 
Switzerland GMBH who has granted a licence for the UK based Harman 
Technology to use for black and white photographic products.

Who is the new owner of ILFORD Asia Pacific? There will be no new owner 
as such, rather different channels of distribution in line with each of 
the new owner’s distribution policies.

Effective from 16th January 2006, C.R. Kennedy will take over 
distribution of ILFORD products in Australian and New Zealand. This 
signals a change in distribution rather than ownership, and a new and 
exciting future for the ILFORD brand, which will continue to be a market 
force into the future.
