Encouraging news - thanks to the Pro Sound News website site - suggests that all is not lost in the analogue tape manufacturing stakes.

The demise of Quantegy Europe has been confirmed by documents received from the administrators Begbies and Traynor but the word is that tape manufacture at the Opelika manufacturing facility in Alabama is likely to be saved. In addition, two new manufacturers have emerged; one in York Pennsylvania which is a new division of ATR Services and another in the Netherlands. RMG International have acquired ‘production and formulation patents’ from EMTEC and are only a few months from production.
