I believe this will leave only Taylor (http://www.taylorbells.co.uk/web/) casting bells of this sort in the UK, possibly anywhere.

'Anywhere', there also are Royal Eijsbouts (http://www.eijsbouts.com/index.php) and Petit & Fritsen (http://www.petit-fritsen.nl/en/index.php), which I think are in the same market (Petit & Fritsen looks to be an Eijsbouts subsidiary, judging from the 'contact' email address on their site)

Interesting, there seem to be a couple of change ringing towers with Ejisbouts bells in the US. Thanks for sharing!

Plus there’s at least one bell foundry in France. (In Villedieu-les-Pouelles in Brittany: http://www.cornille-havard.com/ )

There's 8 active bell foundries left in Germany alone

British bells are quite different from those in most other parts of the world in that they can be used for change ringing, i.e. rung in a controlled manner. Not sure if that would be possible with bells from other countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_ringing

Absolutely. To clarify, by 'of this type' I meant change ringing bells - I'm sure there are plenty of people making bells - equipped to kit out a tower with a new frame of full circle bells must be less common.

Don't worry, there are lots of bell manufacturers in Russia at least - lots and lots of Orthodox churches to supply! ;)

The Whitechapel company is just moving, not going out of business.

[wyclif]

I hadn't seen that. A lot of the stories about this state that they're going out of business.

Hm, being sold and the old foundry-master retiring. It may not even retain the name.
