Growth Initiatives
Based on Kodak's deep expertise in chemistry and strengths in deposition and coating processes that come from decades of experience in film manufacturing, Kodak is working on new initiatives within the Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment.
Expanding U.S. Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Kodak has expanded its pharmaceutical capabilities with the completion of an FDA-registered cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice) manufacturing facility in Rochester, NY. The facility is designed to produce regulated pharmaceutical products for life science, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical applications.
This investment builds on Kodak's established expertise in manufacturing pharmaceutical key starting materials (KSMs) and is part of the company’s long-term growth strategy. Designed for efficient expansion, the facility provides a platform for the production of products including Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS), Water for Injection (WFI), and Normal Saline, with the flexibility to support future opportunities.
If your business is based in the United States and you are interested in Kodak's current or future pharmaceutical offerings, please contact us.
Energy Storage Component Manufacturing
Kodak plans to capitalize on its expertise in coating technology to develop opportunities in the EV/energy storage battery market.
Kodak currently operates a full-scale production coating machine to manufacture certain coated substrates for cathode and anode assembly.
Kodak will continue to explore opportunities to apply its extensive coating expertise to produce U.S.‐manufactured components for battery assembly through potential investments in and strategic relationships with battery companies and the potential acquisition or licensing of battery technology.
Transparent Heaters & Antennas
Kodak plans to leverage its proprietary copper micro‐wire technologies and high‐resolution printing expertise to contract manufacture custom transparent heaters and antennas for automotive, telecom, healthcare, and other applications.
Light‐Blocking Technology
Kodak plans to leverage a proprietary particle technology initially developed for electrophotographic toners to commercialize a carbon‐less fabric coating designed to offer superior light management, from complete blackout to selective light filtering, and coating compatibility with an unmatched range of fabrics.
Kodak has successfully developed and tested a product branded KODALUX for blackout window treatments and continues to evaluate specific market applications.
Kodak has a proprietary KODALUX manufacturing plant in Eastman Business Park, located in Rochester, NY.
