About BERGGER

A French company specializing in photosensitive materials for analog photography. Their product line includes photographic films, fiber-based and resin-coated papers, and a range of developing chemicals.

Bergger is a French manufacturer, developer, and global distributor of analog photographic films, darkroom chemistry, and fine-art papers. Founded in 1995, Bergger serves the global fine-art photography and darkroom community by offering high-end photosensitive materials that rival traditional legacy standards. Its primary strengths lie in its Pancro 400 dual-emulsion film (providing wide exposure latitude), its COT series of 100% cotton papers designed for alternative print processes (like cyanotype and platinum/palladium), and its innovative BERGGER ONE monobath developer. For darkroom printmakers, analog laboratories, and historic process artists, Bergger provides a reliable, professional-grade material foundation.
