Kevan,

HiTech are part of Formatt Filters - all bought out by VFG who are a 
London based pro. lighting company.  Formatt now concentrate on the 
high end video market.

They stopped making infrared filters a long time ago.

One alternative supplier of "P" size infrared filters is CoCam :-) 
10% discount to IRlist members.
