GOOD NEWS: Sharp Expands in Seattle as Kodak Strengthens Its UK Distribution.

Sharp Business Systems and Eastman Kodak are making strategic moves in two very different areas of the imaging and print industry, highlighting continued investment in both business technology and traditional photography. Sharp has doubled down on the Seattle-area market by opening a larger office at Renton’s Longacres campus, expanding its presence in the Pacific Northwest and strengthening its ability to support customers with copiers, printers, managed IT services, displays and workplace technology solutions. Meanwhile, Eastman Kodak is expanding control over its photographic film business by appointing a new UK distributor for its rebranded film products, a move that comes as Kodak continues to rebuild its direct relationship with the analog photography market and capitalize on renewed consumer interest in film. Together, the Sharp Seattle expansion and Kodak UK film distribution deal demonstrate how established imaging companies are continuing to adapt their businesses, invest in key markets and pursue new growth opportunities across the evolving global print, imaging and photography industries.
