If you read the second paragraph of their latest press release (on
www.ilford.com) you will see that:

"ILFORD Imaging has two major manufacturing companies based in the UK and
Switzerland. The UK business, based in Mobberley, Manchester, where it
employed some 740 people, principally manufactures traditional monochrome
photographic supplies. The Swiss manufacturing company, based in Marly,
develops and manufactures digital inkjet products. The Swiss business is
not in any form of insolvency and continues to trade normally. The ILFORD
Group (“Group”) employs a further 310 people in subsidiary businesses in
the USA, Europe and Australia."

The tradition products (film and traditional photographic papers) has
financial problems. The digital/inkjet division is doing just fine and is
not affected.
