Twice, Kodak tried to take over the company and failed, and between the two world wars Ilford acquired acquired four well-known British companies and their subsidiaries. The 1966 Monopolies Commission Report made it difficult for the company to continue in the mass amateur colour film business, but it fought back and is now best known for its ultra fine grain high-speed black and white films, and more recently for its monochrome printing papers and silver dye-bleach colour products".
