(Not sure re spelling, I've not bought any for years.) They made a range of chemicals, as I recall compatible with the common films and papers around at the time. I've no idea if they are still in business. The chemicals were, marginally, cheaper than the more famous brands. Kentmere springs to mind for papers. (This was in the mid 70s). When I showed my children, I used own brand chemicals from one of the large high st stores, which I think has since gone under. I should dispose of the enlarger etc, it is just taking up space. I doubt I will use it again.
