It is very simple... Huper Optik USA and Edge Technologies are sister companies. They utilize the same distribution network which is the largest in the country with over 15 locations throughout the USA and Canada. Autobahn is a program and label that allows Huper to be sold in conjunction with the films that Eastman would not allow to be sold under the Huper Optik label due to competing conflict with Llumar and SunTek products. Edge is a Film brand that serves the same purpose. Eastman does not own either of the these two brands which does not make them subject to Eastman control. The advantage being that they can spec their own films and have them made by the best manufacture rather than being tied to one factory. That allows for a more versatile lineup with more local points of distribution in North America than any other film brands.
If you did see their booths with the new materials and Films at the IWFC show, you may want to check out what is new because a lot has changed in the past year.
