Founded in 1880 in the United States, it is the world's largest manufacturer and supplier of imaging products and related services, and is a world leader in the field of image shooting, sharing, output and display
In 1888, with the slogan "You press a button, we'll do the rest," George Eastman brought the first simple camera to consumers. Since then, he has made the cumbersome and complex process of photography easy to use, and almost anyone can do it.
Since then, Eastman Kodak has embarked on a journey to develop new products and make photography simpler, more useful, and more fun. In fact, Kodak is now known not only for photography, but also for images used in a variety of leisure, commercial, entertainment and scientific applications. Increasingly, its scope involves the use of technology to combine images with information – setting the stage for far-reaching changes in the way people and companies communicate.
Just as Eastman has made photography "as easy as a pencil," Kodak has insisted on bringing images into people's daily lives. As one of the leading major multinational companies, the company's brand has spread to almost every corner of the world.
Headquartered in Rochester, New York, USA, Eastman Kodak Company (hereinafter referred to as Kodak Company) is the world's largest manufacturer and supplier of imaging products and related services, and is a publicly traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, with operations in more than 150 countries and territories and approximately 80,000 employees worldwide.
For more than 100 years, Eastman Kodak has been a world leader in capturing, sharing, exporting and displaying images, helping countless people retain memories, exchange important information and have fun. But with the rise of digital technology, Kodak filed for bankruptcy protection on January 19, 2012.
Kodak was created, in the early stages of R&D, mainly sensitive technologies and products, followed by the development of new technologies, products and services to meet the rapidly growing market demand. Today, Kodak Corporation is transforming to:
