The JENSEN brand will end...-but, capacitor manufacturing in Denmark will continue ! ..."

I have tried the Jantzen Superior Z XO caps. HumbleHomemadeHiFi offered parts matching. The caps I got from them where matched to 1/10th of a uF (e.g. 10.1uF to 10.1uF) so much closer than the manufacturer's +/-2%.
