ORWO

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ORWO is a manufacturer of photographic film. The basis for ORWO was the AGFA Wolfen plant, which was located in what was to become East Germany, and thus nationalized after WWII.

The ORWO trademark (for Original Wolfen) was introduced in 1964. ORWO branded 35mm colour slide film became available in the United Kingdom in the 1970s through magazine advertisements for mail order suppliers. It was a cheaper alternative to the mainstream brands available at the time.
