Astrum

Astrum (ООО "Аструм ЛТД") is a Ukrainian photographic supplies company founded in May 1995. According to its official website, it has operated for more than a decade on the Ukrainian market for aerial photographic film, expanding production and building cooperation with new trading partners. The company describes its professional staff, fast work and quality results as the foundation of its success and leadership in the aerial photographic film sector. Astrum's core business is the supply and processing of photographic materials. Its main activity areas include aerial photographic film, photo chemicals, adhesive and sticky tapes, dactyloscopy (fingerprint) products, X-ray film, photographic paper, cine and photo materials, magnetic tape, paint and varnish products, and film for recorders and registering instruments. The company is a certified partner of Kodak, the leading photographic film producer, and offers a wide assortment of aerial photographic films. Together with Kodak, Astrum carries out finishing, inspection, testing and packaging of the entire range of Kodak aerial photographic films, including colour and spectrozonal types. Astrum offers colour, black-and-white, duplicating (contratype) and infrared aerial photographic films. These are selected according to usage conditions and desired results; for example, duplicating films are recommended for the most accurate reproduction of fine details and shade changes, while infrared films are described as universal because they provide high image quality and meet a broad range of cartographic needs. The properties of Kodak black-and-white and colour aerial films determine their wide range of applications, meeting the requirements of cartographic and reconnaissance work. Beyond its Kodak partnership, Astrum is known in the photographic community for reviving former Soviet film brands. According to Chinese Wikipedia, Astrum was founded in 1995 as a Ukrainian film manufacturer, succeeding the Soviet film brands Svema and Tasma, both of which ceased production after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. After its founding, Astrum gradually restored individual Svema and Tasma films; today it focuses mainly on black-and-white film, and also offers one colour film and a colour infrared film. Wikidata describes Astrum simply as a Ukrainian photographic supplies company. The company is privately held and based in Ukraine. Its official website lists contact telephone numbers with the country code +38 and provides sections for products, about the company and contacts, indicating an active commercial operation serving photographic, industrial and forensic customers.
