HARMAN technology Acquires Kentmere Photographic

[David A. Goldfarb]

New thread merged with the existing thread on this topic.

On a german forum it was mentioned, that the Kentmere plant has been shut down, the machines already dissassembled and the coating moved to the Mobberley plant.

Can anybody confirm or disprove this?

Just read the German thread and what a load of rubbish. The poster was talking through his ****.

Sounds like pure speculation to me... Even if HARMAN had wanted to do this --which isn't the case, they assure us-- .. even if they wanted to, it couldn't have happened this fast.

Sounds like a load of *beep* to me...

Edit: yeah, what Ian said ^^ ! I second that!

It didn't sound as if this guy substantiated his claims at all, it was just what he heard as far as I can translate German.

No need to get aggressive here. This guy states clearly that he has heard this, not more. Thats why I asked here to get informations from people, who are nearer to Ilford / Kentmere.

So, anything substantial from you?

Is there anything to backup this? I read the announcement of the takeover carefully and nowhere it was mentioned, that the Kentmere plant will go on - they are only talking about the products of Kentmere, not the employees and not the plant.

Nobody in UK knowing exactly?

Sometimes Adreas we have information that is confidential, the information I have is that Kentmere are actively seeking to expand their potential markets, and that they are trading as normal.

The poster you quoted is a spreading malicious unfounded rumours. I'm not being aggressive suggesting the poster is an idiot.

What is confidential regarding the fact if the Kentmere plant is still active or not?
Stop talking BS and state facts.
