The current film company is not the original Kodak. It appears the Kodak imaging division was bought by the UK Kodak Pension Plan (I kid you not) and they still privately own the business. They share the "Kodak" brand name with the Eastman Kodak Company, and the HQ is in the UK.
- jacobush 7y agoYes, I know. It's even weirder than that though. From the perspective of the people who work at the plant though, it's the same. They do (very, limited compared to way back then) research and development, and run the production of film. Same people and the same things as has been going on for decades. These people, Eastman Kodak, produce the film. They also sell motion picture film. What the UK Kodak Pension Plan bought is Kodak Alaris - they sell still image film. And they buy that film from Eastman Kodak.
