Founded by George Eastman in 1880 and headquartered in Rochester, New York, Kodak became widely known for making photography accessible through consumer cameras, photographic film and film-processing services. As digital photography reduced demand for traditional film, the company restructured and filed for bankruptcy protection in 2012, emerging in 2013 with a greater focus on commercial printing, advanced materials, chemicals and professional imaging technologies. Jim Continenza has served as Kodak’s executive chairman and chief executive officer since 2019.
