Kodak marked the grand opening of its new Technology Centre in Eysins, Switzerland with an official ceremony attended by customers, partners, and employees.
The new facility combines the company’s European headquarters, inkjet demo facilities and EAMER Technology Centre in a single building.
‘Kodak is now a formidable competitor – strong and ready to help lead the industry through disruptive technologies and breakthrough solutions in fast-growing market segments,’ said Antonio Perez, chief executive officer. ‘Our new Technology Centre in Eysins is a good example of how we bring everything together for the benefit of the customer — technologies, products, services and our great team.’
Among that best technology is the successful Prosper Press. Its capabilities were highlighted by Tom Fenske, one of four brothers who own Fenske Media in the US, as he gave a presentation. The operation’s two Prosper 5000XLi Presses run alongside a Nexpress Digital Production Colour Press. Also, complementing the product portfolio is a Magnus VLF Platesetter imaging Trillian SP Thermal Plates supported by Prinergy Workflow System.
‘Kodak Technology has enabled us to transform our digital offering and has helped us double our business profits over the last eight years,’ stated Mr Fenske. ‘We have seen our digital work grow year on year from an even split with litho and that is a trend that continues today. It is a great honour to be invited to share our company’s success story at such a pivotal moment in Kodak’s history.’
