I know at least one person who had one set up for personal use, so I suspect that would only be correct if emended to "...still in _commercial_ operation..." and you'd probably have to add "for printing in house".
For context, Linotype alloy is still listed/sold:
https://www.rotometals.com/linotype-alloy-5-pounds-4-tin-12-antimony-and-84-lead/ https://www.rotometals.com/linotype-alloy-5-pounds-4-tin-12-...
and there was a recent Kickstarter in Europe to preserve one for usage:

and I'm pretty sure that R.I.T. still has one in operation (a student when my daughter was there did a card which was typeset in Trajanus, which was a Linotype font).
