I have had a number of off-list inquiries asking which capacitor 
manufacturers are "large and reputable."

I mentioned specifically the SBE Orange Drops, and the Orange Drops 
supplied by Sprague, Vishay, and Cornell Dubilier/CDE.

In addition to these, other large, reputable capacitor manufacturers 
include:

Sprague, Vishay, Cornell Dubilier/CDE, AVX, EPCOS, Wima, Wurth, 
Roederstein, and Panasonic.  (Illinois Capacitor is reasonably large, 
but IMO does not make very reliable film capacitors.)

I do not know whether all of these manufacturers make film-and-foil 
capacitors -- you will have to look at the datasheets to find out.

Best regards,
