BY; EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY".SOME INTERESTING INFORMATION –KodakKODAK is best known for its photographic film products and were the first to bring them to the mass market.George Eastman was a hobby-photographer – began to manufacture dry photographic plates in 1880. Eastman and Henry A. Strong formed their partnership in 1881 called the Eastman Dry Plate Co.Eastman brought new and innovative products to market which in turn led to the advancement of photography and then moving pictures – film.Eastman - founded the Eastman KODAK Company in 1888 and dominated the photographic film industry through much of the 20th century, with 90% of the N American market in the 70’s. Eastman followed the RAZOR & BLADES strategy - selling inexpensive cameras BUT making his money on the consumables (such as film, paper, and chemicals) and accessories storage boxes, cases, and more.The Eastman KODAK Company, headquartered in Rochester N.Y., was incorporated in 1892 – by Eastman and Strong – after they released the first KODAK camera.This name – KODAK - was created for this company and product lines by Eastman and his mother - to be simple, unique & to incorporate his favourite letter K - which he viewed as strong and distinct. KODAK struggled in the 1990’s – due to an increase of competition from mainly Fujifilm as well as struggling to transition into digital photography but has made adjustments to continue on in photography and diversify into the pharmaceutical industry.SHIPPING - Currently and until further notice – I can ship from within the US – handling time of 20 business days - as I am located in Canada but can arrange with a shipper to originate once per month from within the US.
