Hi everyone,
Good news: Forte will continue.
The administrator has decided to pick up the production again.
They are allowed to fulfill all outstanding orders in the first quarter of 2005. The only string attached for them is that it has to be a profitable production and that they have to generate the necessary funds by themselves.
Thus we have to prepay this production which restricts us in our order size and prices will go up by about 10%.
If all goes well and they manage to sell at profitable pricres and if all other customers are willing to prepay as well then it can go into a second round in March even under administration.
As for us we have decided to focus with our limited funds to Fortes best papers: Polywarmtone Fibre and RC.
We invested all spare money in a huge stock of these papers and hope to be able to serve you best during the times of transison until Forte has found a new structure/owner.
Polykaltton will be replaced by ADOX Fine Print Vario Classic whereas this paper is also better (thicker support, more silver, deeper black and bout one grade harder if filtered with full magenta).
If there is anyone out there with excess cash <img src='http://forum.fotoimpex.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> willing to help/acquire shares- please contact us.
Cheers from Berlin,
