This could be a big opportunity for the many mouthpiece manufacturers who do not use Zinner blanks to become suppliers to those who once did. A few examples would be Ramon Wodkowski, Vandoren, Selmer, Licostini, Gotsu, Kuckmeier, Wi & Fi, Brad Behn (for most of his models), and Doug McClure with his recent CNC blanks supplied by Wes Rice (who also does the Fobes 10k blank). With the market open I would expect as least some of these, and many more, to jump on the bandwagon. In Germany I believe Leitner and Krauss make at least some of their own blanks; not sure about AW and EMS Schreiber.
Think of all the great A. Lelandais, Chedeville, Kaspar, Selmer, Vandoren, Woodwind, and Sumner mouthpieces that were made and played long before anyone heard of Zinner. (And some would add Kanter and Bay pieces to this little list).
Don't get me wrong; I have a Moba C and a Grabner CH Chicago, both on Zinner blanks, that I like very much, but as good as Zinners could be, they are not the beginning or the end of mouthpieces
