>> KENTMERE CENTENNIAL POP ( Printing Out Paper )

Whilst demanded in relatively small volumes, HARMAN recognises that KENTMERE CENTENNIAL POP has a passionate following throughout the world and so announces with regret that this product can no longer be made.

The most significant reasons for this include the need for extremely elevated temperatures during the mnaufacturing process. There are also chemical additives involved in the coating that HARMAN does not wish to use from an employee health and safety perspective.

To adhere to the required production methods safely, and certainly in a way that at its bare minimum complies with UK health and safety legislation, would necessitate an enormous investment into HARMAN's factory. This cannot be justified due to the low volumes sold. HARMAN did look into the possibility of manufacturing elsewhere but feels it would be unethical and hypocritical to manufacture in a different country where employee health and safety requirements are perhaps less rigorous. <<

Oren,
We have a wonderful tradition in this country of blaming Health & Safety regulations (especially the European regs. foisted on us by The E.E.C., or whatever they call themselves this week) for all our problems. Harman employees told me a few years ago at The Focus exhibition that they had made a few token efforts to produce P.O.P. but didn't have the knowledge/skill/commitment to persue the cause. H&S wasn't mentioned.

Thanks for that reference. I hadn't seen that company. I immediately passed it along to an interested person who is running out of POP.
