As I understand, Buffet Crampon bought Leblanc Paris some 10 years ago, and since then Leblanc Paris is not longer existing. (Maybe I'm wrong with the details?) But what happended with the factory of Leblanc in France? And what happended with all the stuff and material in there? (Not to speak about the employees.) Was/is Buffet using some of these? Or was it sold? E.g. grenadilla wood etc.? For instance, I could imagine (but this might be completely wrong) that the ICON series of bells and barrels came out of this. Does anybody know more details?

If I believe members of the French "clarinette" forum, the staff was kept, and the French E11 and E12 clarinets were assembled there.
Edit: just saw you edited your post ... I don't know about barrels being produced there, or what happened to the grenadilla wood ... I think only Buffet Crampon knows that (though I doubt that the ICON barrels are produced in the former Leblanc plant).
