Kodak
Kodak, short for Eastman Kodak Company, is a historic American company famous for its role in photography. Founded in the late 19th century by George Eastman, Kodak revolutionized the industry with innovations like roll film and the Kodak camera, making photography accessible to the public. The brand became synonymous with capturing memories over decades. However, with the rise of digital photography in the late 20th century, Kodak struggled to adapt and filed for bankruptcy in 2012. Today, it focuses on imaging technology and printing solutions, seeking to rebuild its presence in a digital world.
