“We want to use the property firm’s resources to help Ilford Imaging Switzerland, which is currently in great difficulty,” Métrailler told the paper.Sounds like they may try to sell some of the property assets, maybe a sale/leaseback to generate cash. If they're struggling under a debt load, generating cash may not be enough and a reorganisation through bankruptcy may still be necessary.
It's interesting that when the companies split several years ago, then management of the former Ilford bought what is now Ilford Photo and it was being spun off because management of the, now, Ilford Imaging felt the film business was in decline. Ilford Photo continues to do well, apparently, with its film business and its Harman line of inkjet papers and the company that wanted to toss the film business to the scrap heap is in trouble.
