Since the company's foundation in 1934, we at Fujifilm have been working to provide ever-better imaging and information products with the aim of making a contribution to the international community. Not only have we reached the top of the industry in the fields of photo-sensitive materials such as photographic film, and related equipment and services, we were also among the first to foresee the wave of digitalization, establishing new image expression technologies. From graphic arts and medical systems to the industry-leading FinePix digital cameras – now a household name – Fujifilm has continued to take up the challenge of developing novel image expression technologies derived from digital technology, and to undertake dynamic activities for the “Fujifilm World” and “Fujifilm Technology”.

With the slogan "you press the button, we do the rest," George Eastman put the first simple camera into the hands of a world of consumers in 1888. In so doing, he made a cumbersome and complicated process easy to use and accessible to nearly everyone.

Since that time, the Eastman Kodak Company has led the way with an abundance of new products and processes to make photography simpler, more useful and more enjoyable. In fact, today's Kodak is known not only for photography, but also for images used in a variety of leisure, medical, business, entertainment and scientific applications. Its reach increasingly involves the use of technology to combine images and information--creating the potential to profoundly change how people and businesses communicate.

Just as Eastman had a goal to make photography "as convenient as the pencil," Kodak continues to expand the ways images touch people's daily lives. The company ranks as a premier multinational corporation, with a brand recognized in virtually every country around the world.
