And here I thought Kodak went bankrupt and out of business years ago because it refused to innovate. There’s even a documentary on how it invented the digital camera, and then thought it was not worth developing because it would eat into its film semi-monopoly, and then Asia grabbed and developed the technology.

Yes, but...

Those of us of a certain age still remember the smell of the darkroom.

Remember that?

Remember all of those exotic chemicals needed to capture an image from particles of light, and make it visible and permanent?

THAT is valuable stuff.

Yes. And now the largest photographic product manufacturing facility in the world, employing over 15,000 employees in over 154 different buildings spanning its 1,300 acres is being repurposed to manufacture pharmaceuticals. The nature and characteristics of a film plant work well for pharma.
