Kodak has secured a prestigious Gold Stevie® Award in the Best Business Technology Pivot category at The 22nd Annual American Business Awards®. This accolade recognizes Kodak’s successful transformation of its digital printing business, specifically its strategic shift towards inkjet presses, positioning the company to capitalize on the future growth of high-speed inkjet production printing.
The winning initiative showcases Kodak’s innovative products, including the KODAK PROSPER Ultra 520 Press powered by KODAK ULTRASTREAM Technology and the KODAK 7000 Turbo Press—hailed as the world’s fastest inkjet press. These cutting-edge presses are engineered to deliver offset-quality results at remarkable production speeds and are versatile enough to handle a broad spectrum of printing applications. They boast flexibility in printing on various substrates, from uncoated and coated papers to standard offset papers, newsprint, and recycled papers.
Jim Continenza, Executive Chairman and CEO of Kodak, expressed his delight at receiving the Gold Stevie Award, stating, “We are thrilled that our strategic focus on continuous inkjet technology within our digital printing business has been recognized with this prestigious honor. This award validates our path forward and motivates us to enhance our inkjet portfolio further to empower our customers with the evolving capabilities of inkjet technology.”
American Business Awards, open to all organizations in the United States regardless of size or sector, involve a rigorous judging process conducted by over 300 professionals worldwide to select the winners. Notably, this is not Kodak’s first Stevie Award triumph; the company proudly earned a Gold Stevie® Award last year in the ‘Achievement in Organizational Recovery’ category.
Kodak’s commitment to innovation and strategic adaptation underscores its leadership in the digital printing industry, demonstrating a forward-thinking approach to meet evolving market demands and customer needs.
