Rochester, New York, May 2, 2024 – Kodak is proud to have been named the winner of a Gold Stevie® Award in the Best Business Technology Pivot category in The 22nd Annual American Business Awards®. With the coveted award, Kodak is recognized for successfully shifting its digital printing business to focus on inkjet presses.
