The ''FilmoTec GmbH'' was formed in 1998 to continue to manufacture a range of black and white camera and technical films for motion picture use under the ORWO brand. Film coating was contracted out, to Ilford and later InovisCoat. In 2020, twenty employees work in the areas of research, development, production, configuration, and distribution of ORWO black and white films.

Products are particularly aimed towards the technical needs of the world's archiving, motion picture, and holographic industries.  FilmoTec is, with Kodak, now one of only two companies still producing black and white films for motion picture use.

In partnership with ORWO North America, ORWO film currently supplies all [[Library of Congress|US Library of Congress]] black and white industrial films, in addition to high-profile archival clients like [[Smithsonian Institution|the Smithsonian]] and [[Museum of Modern Art|MOMA]]. For example, black and white movies that have been selected by the US Library of Congress for archival copy preservation in the last five years have been most likely reprocessed onto ORWO film.{{citation needed|date=June 2022}}
