Eastman Kodak Company

The former film giant, now a maker of commercial printing, advanced materials and chemicals

What Eastman Kodak does

Eastman Kodak — once the dominant name in photographic film — is today a much smaller industrial company. It supplies commercial printing equipment, plates and inks; advanced materials and functional films; and specialty chemicals, while still licensing its consumer brand for cameras and film sold by partners.

How Eastman Kodak makes money

Kodak earns from selling printing hardware and the recurring consumables (plates, inks, chemicals) that printers buy repeatedly, plus advanced-materials and chemicals sales and brand-licensing royalties. The recurring consumables and services attached to its installed printing base provide steadier revenue than one-off equipment sales.
