Only 1 Lacquer producer left, in a garage in Japan?


Can someone comment on this.
I had read this article about 3 months ago.  When I saw the headlines about Apollo burning down, I found it again.
This article states:

“There are only two companies worldwide that produce lacquers. One of these companies is a one-man operation in Japan run by an old man who produces the lacquers in his garage."

I sure hope his garage is 10,000 square feet...

Most of the people i know using Apollo Lacquer for dubplates/acetates and disc masters. But i can’t open their site: www.apollomasters.com

" Apollo Masters Company manufactures Master lacquer discs in different Brands: Apollo, Transco and PY formulas."

They are closed, burned, really ???
