EASTMAN KODAK CO, publicly traded under the ticker symbol KODK, is a prominent company in the technology industry that focuses on imaging products. With roots dating back to the late 19th century, Kodak has played an integral role in the evolution of the imaging sector, providing innovative solutions for businesses as well as for individual customers across the globe.
Founded in 1888 by George Eastman, the company set out to revolutionize photography by making picture-taking simple and fun. Eastman invented roll film, which was a stepping stone for the invention of motion picture film used by filmmakers worldwide. Over its long history, Kodak has continually evolved, becoming a leader in the transition from film to digital photography.
Now, Kodak serves various commercial sectors including print, packaging, graphic communications, entertainment, commercial films and more.

In the consumer market, Kodak has played a crucial role in the development of imaging products that help people capture and relive life's memorable moments. The company's inkjet printers, for example, offer professional-quality photo printing – an offering that underpins the company's commitment to innovation and quality.
Beyond its contributions to photography and print, Kodak also ventured into pharmaceuticals in 2020, upon receiving a loan from the U.S. government to produce ingredients used in generic drugs, thereby marking the company's dedication to solving contemporary global issues.
Despite having faced several financial struggles and undergoing bankruptcy in 2012, Kodak has emerged triumphant. With its prime focus on commercial print, Kodak today stands as a testament to resilience, innovation, and progression. It remains a significant contributor to tech development and a paradigm of transformation in the increasingly digital world.
At the core of Eastman Kodak Company is a deep-seated belief in the power of images – whether they're printed on page or displayed on a digital screen – to change the world.
