Kodak operates a capital-intensive, globally distributed manufacturing footprint spanning commercial print equipment and specialty chemicals. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward production control (Rockwell, Siemens PLCs, Allen-Bradley) and enterprise resource planning (SAP S/4HANA, SuccessFactors), with active modernization underway: upgrading legacy DCS systems, optimizing SAP modules, and automating treasury workflows. The hiring velocity is accelerating with manufacturing roles dominating the pipeline, paired with simultaneous pushes on working capital optimization and SOX compliance—typical of a large industrial operator executing simultaneous operational and digital transformation.
Kodak manufactures commercial print equipment, advanced materials, and specialty chemicals for global industrial markets. The organization spans 1,001–5,000 employees across the United States and Canada. With 130+ years of R&D accumulated into 79,000 patents, the company competes on manufacturing process control, material science, and equipment reliability. Core operational challenges center on waste reduction, working capital management, and modernization of aging control systems (Emerson Ovation DCS, legacy PLCs). Recent project momentum reflects dual priorities: upgrading enterprise systems (SAP implementations, SuccessFactors deployment) and enhancing manufacturing capability through process verification and equipment reliability initiatives.
