Have you fully thought of this?
Maybe GP3 Offical Account meant this offer based on being sent the respective films.
I got not idea how they could gain "all the existing films" as stated.
KodakAlaris no longer owns the Kodak branded photo-chemical business. They sold that business to Sino-Promise Holdings, who are having difficulties getting product through a lot of the pandemic related shipping bottlenecks.
Here is their relevant webpage...
No.
KodakAlaris has two divisions for film. One division mostly deals with the sort of distributor that stocks general purpose stores like grocery stores and drug stores and other retailers who aren't mostly involved with photography. They tend to distribute product with different packaging...
All Kodak Black and White still films are sold through the KodakAlaris professional film division, along with the Portra and Ektar colour still films.
The consumer film division handles the Gold and Color Plus films, which are often distributed through different distributors.
kodakprofessional is KodakAlaris.
Here is their website page for all their single use cameras: https://imaging.kodakalaris.com/photographers/film/single-use-cameras
As they don't sell to retailers, they are depending on their distributor customers to get it out to the world.
The Instagram link...
Read everything I've said: I said it doesn't matter whether they are different divisions, different companies, dance partners, or animal breeders - what matters is the cost of the film. If one makes it and the other tries to sell it at such a high price no one buys it, the first won't be making...
...you really don't want to learn. Matt has explained all this in detail many times. There are no "divisions." Eastman Kodak and KodakAlaris are two completely separate companies. But I guess hatred is emotional rather than rational.
Yup. Despite the nonsense some at PHOTRIO would have...
In most corporations, dividends are often waived if money is needed for other things such as research and development or marketing. However, the Alaris retirees need their monthly checks. So the business plan is structured for that purpose. Money that should be reinvested to make Alaris more...
Says the man whose glass is clearly 99/100ths empty. Geez. Do you actually LIKE making photographs??
TMY and TMX are both spectacularly good films. I can buy 120 TMY for $8.50 a roll from Blue Moon camera, compared to $8.75 for a roll of Delta 400. (On B&H its $9.00 vs $8.66) So, bash Kodak all...
...Kodak just reduces the product line. Or, better yet, offers a new product, Ektachrome, which is inscrutably obtuse, since most facility for developing it has evaporated and they (KodakAlaris) offer no service to do it. A slide film for a world with no slide mounts and no slide projectors.
...photo-chemistry, colour photo paper and an office scanning system. Eastman Kodak remained as the manufacturer for the still film. KodakAlaris was initially the manufacturer for the paper;
2) interests in all the remaining international Kodak facilities, outside of Rochester. Most of those...
why does this group go so far off Track. Eastman Kodak went bankrupt! they got out of their pension obligations for most of their staff, BUT they were not able to get out of the Liability to the Staff of Kodak Limited. in the UK. to cover this off, they formed Alaris which was given the...
I may have missed it here. But why does a 20% increase from KodakAlaris translate to $23.99 per 35mm roll to end-users? Their increase is to distributors and resellers. The $23.99 is a retail price to end-users from a specific seller.
Anything that reduces the price of Kodak products to less than twice the price of Ilford gets my vote, Old Gregg, and while you execute this plan can you do anything about reducing the bulk roll price - there's got to be something wrong there :D
If you can pull this plan off on Wall Street will...
Perhaps, but I'm sure we wouldn't have Kodak (or Eastman) still film any more if the KodakAlaris people were dispensed with.
To add some levity, let's wallow in days gone by a bit, with some of the stuff that I moved from one spot to another today as we prepare to put up a Christmas tree.
The...
You don't understand how much of Kodak was international. None of those international subsidiaries went bankrupt. All of their business (other than a small amount of motion picture business) was transferred to KodakAlaris and its international subsidiaries.
...only a portion of Eastman Kodak was involved with photography.
There are multiple entities that still have pieces of the old entity. KodakAlaris was the recipient of most of what was left of the still photographic business in terms of employees and markets and international presence and...
That is correct. There have been pictures of their photo paper confectioning (slitting and packaging) plant on their website in the past. But it looks like they have disappeared.
Best regards,

This is the weak point in the argumentation of KodakAlaris.
Another weak point is that Kodak themselves gave up their autarky over the years by outsourcing elements their films and papers were made of.
Try finding Butterscotch pudding in the grocery store or even on the internet. Who has the authority to make it disappear? Does anyone have a recipe to make it from scratch.
Controversial ice cream? Has anyone else noticed that rum and raisin ice cream has totally disappeared, just when I decided I like it? I did not know that KodakAlaris made it, but now I'm sure.
...suggestion to Sino Promise: ehs-questions@sinopromise.com
They are currently struggling massively with pandemic related shipping bottlenecks and some of the remaining issues after the change of ownership but a large proportion of their staff and administrative structure came over from Kodak...
As far as I know netiher Eastman Kodak nor KodakAlaris produce or sell photochemicals. The business was sold to Sino Promises holding in 2020 even they are still sold under the "Kodak" brand.
