Wait, so if they don't make the film or the chemistry, what does that have to do with us? I'm a bit confused, it's probably complicated business stuff? But don't we want Eastman Kodak to be the one to survive? What DOES the new KA make?
Kodak Alaris makes the colour photographic paper at the plant they acquired at Harrow in the UK, plus they have the rights to the production contracts (for colour paper) at a number of other sites around the world.
They also acquired the commercial document imaging business from Kodak. I'm not sure if any manufacturing facilities were included with that.
Eastman Kodak sold the chemistry manufacturing business a long time ago, but the sale and distribution of Kodak photographic chemistry remained with Eastman Kodak. I expect that R & D around chemistry was shared between the manufacturers and EK. That sale and distribution business went to Kodak Alaris.
Kodak Alaris has the right to sell and distribute all Kodak film, except for the motion picture film. That film is manufactured by Eastman Kodak, on the same machine that makes the motion picture film.
Most likely, Kodak Alaris will need to develop a long term plan for the replacement of its manufacturing source for film. It may very well be that they are working with Eastman Kodak on those plans - or maybe with others.
In the short term, Kodak Alaris has an absolutely dysfunctional worldwide distribution system they need to deal with. I expect that this is what they are concentrating on now, because until that is improved, they will do more harm then good if they promote film to people who won't be able to find it anywhere.
