    Kodak Alaris - sold

    Whatever the plan is, it is certain that they've done their homework and have a plan. These groups tend to be very shrewd and intelligent when they bet.

    Kodak Alaris - sold

    Keep what works and ditch everything else they don't think has a future. If you read Kodak Alaris financial reports, Film segment has been the driver behind revenue and profit growth for many years now, so it would seem that continuing with getting cheap film from Eastman Kodak and selling it...

    Of course a venture captial group doesn't care about anything except money. I wonder what would they do with Alaris to make money.

    Kodak Alaris - sold

    What if they buy Kodak film production as well? Alaris USA is already right next to the Rochester NY production plant (I believe). That could make managing both manufacturing and distribution an easier joint effort, just as Eastman Kodak did it for a century. That would give them more...

    Kodak Alaris - sold

    First thing I thought of. However, after reading their bio, they're involved with many buyouts in different industries and seem to be an energetic company with top executives willing to risk their capital. Maybe they saw film advancing and catching on again and felt they could market it better...

    Kodak Alaris - sold

    Indeed, just unfortunate wording on my side. I was thinking if in that scenario, something like the chemical rights and distribution could happen. But then it would be an actor like Cinestill picking up marketing and distribution while EK manufactures anyways. I actually found that you wrote a...

    Kodak Alaris - sold

    EK is already doing all the manufacturing of Still film. What they don't have, and what Kodak Alaris does have, is the marketing and distribution infrastructure, as well as the rights to that marketing and distribution. If Alaris goes belly up (i.e. goes bankrupt), those rights would be part of...

    Interesting, I also share the sentiment of uncertainty as they are Venture capital. But then count that Harman was also purchased by Pemberstone Ventures, which is of a familiar nature. Regarding film, IIRC Alaris hold the rights but does not manufacture (EK). Chemistry and Paper went into...

    Fuji Does Not Care about Film

    "f you were a high quantity commercial retail operation, you also might get a response..." - Even the busy camera shops that still sell film, and quite abit of it like Central Camera here in Chicago NEVER know what's going on at Fuji's end.

    Fuji Does Not Care about Film

    Sino Promise bought Kodak colour paper business and chemicals from Alaris when that business was seriously competing with Fuji. Now, you might think that Alaris and Fuji came to a "gentlemen's agreement" and then just asked Sino Promise nicely to deliberately run their new business to the ground...

    Fuji Does Not Care about Film

    Other way around. The impetus came from Kodak Alaris because of the demand for still film transparency material. The added interest of the motion picture people probably meant that the extensive work required to bring it back was viable. Speaking generally though, Fuji has never responded to...

    ...it was/is owned by Carestream, after they obtained it from Eastman Kodak. I believe that there were some leasehold interests that resulted in Kodak Alaris using it for producing RA4 paper, but not owning it. I'm not sure whether those leasehold interests actually ended up in Sino Promise's...

    Not quite, but certainly since the bankruptcy the only revisions were to replace them with Kodak Alaris badging. But the film manufacturing people and the distribution people still did communicate about quality issues, at least until Sino Promise went under. And Eastman Kodak were the entity...

    If Kodak Made A 'Warm' Version Of Ektachrome 100, Would You Try It?

    If Kodak Made A 'Warm' Version Of Ektachrome 100, Would You Try It?

    You have that backwards. Eastman Kodak developed Ektachrome and announced it in Super 8, 16mm, and 35mm for still cameras. It's obvious to me that it's cine based because it's so low contrast and neutral relative to even Provia. They wanted reversal films for their small format cine cameras...

    I saw it added to the Kodak Alaris offering but have not used it.......at 32 dollars for a pack of 5 it's certainly worth looking at?

Most of its still large international workforce became the responsibility of Kodak Alaris, allowing Eastman Kodak to continue.

    Fuji freezer film rumour

    If Kodak has trouble fulfilling Fuji's orders that doesn't really mean that they've sorted out their confectioning bottleneck. And I'm pretty sure two substantial price increases from Alaris in one year was the deciding factor in the availability of Kodak film in stores. It could mean that...

    I wouldn't put it like that, really. Keep in mind that the chemistry business was sold off several years ago (ditched by Alaris to Sino Promise in 2019 off the top of my head), so it really isn't "Kodak" anymore except by name. Having said that, a change in quality is not necessarily a...
