FEATURED EDITORIAL

How Kodak Reimagined Its Film Infrastructure For Biopharma Manufacturing

Well, that didn’t work out as planned, writes Chief Editor Louis Garguilo, referring to Kodak's plan in 2018 to revitalize the Eastman Business Park in Rochester, NY. The incoming chairman and now CEO, Jim Continenza, didn’t like that movie, and flipped the script. Instead, Kodak has, so to speak, returned to itself – back to a domestic specialty materials and chemicals supplier, intent on serving biopharma in that capacity.
