Hi,
1. FujiHunt
2. Tetenal
3. Kodak (yes, they are still making the chemistry).
You see, there are more manufacturers for E6 chemistry than for E6 film.
Don't worry, be happy and shoot reversal film. Developing chemistry is not a problem at all!
It is easy to make (some photographers even mix it by themselves).
Other photo chemical manufacturers like Calbe (Germany) can make it, too.
This "E6 chemistry panic" is a complete nonsense spread by former Kodak employees on apug.
By the way, these are the same people who some years ago have said "instant film will be dead at first".
And now instant film is the first film type which has a strong revival with 20% increasing sales p.a.
Generally available, both the FujiHunt and the Tetenal kits for self development. Kodak is only offering higher volume kits for labs.
You may have a look here for example:

They know that E6 chemistry is not a problem at all. Of course they have checked before their decision with the chemical companies.
By the way, in the next edition of the film photo print magazine 'PhotoKlassik' ( www.photoklassik.de ) there will be a report about a factory visit at new Film Ferrania.
And a long detailed article about reversal film!
It is simple to keep chrome film alive:
1. Let's shoot as much as possible.
2. Don't hide your lovely chromes: Show them to others, spread the word, get more photographers interested in this outstanding and unique photographic medium!
Cheers, Jan
P.S.: Guys, your pictures here are awesome!

are they so specific to E6 chemistry, or are they generally available?

Ferrania is planning on releasing slide film next year, so I suppose they must have planned for the continuation of E6 chemicals being available, or making them available themselves.
