Michigan-based Photo Systems will bring Kodak Professional-branded development chemicals back into production after Sino Promise, the Chinese holding company that previously held the license, exited the photo chemical business this past April.
Just about every industry has been touched by some form of supply chain issue in the past few years and photography has been no exception. But black and white film photographers might be taking the brunt of them soon.
Sino Promise, the manufacturer of Kodak silver paper and photochemicals, may be struggling financially as it has increased its prices and is demanding full upfront payment from photo labs, following last year's warning that it was suffering from a supply shortage.
