Kodak Corporation (NYSE:EK, for short) is a large multinational photography equipment company. Kodak's predecessor was the Eastman Dry Company, founded in 1881 by inventor George Eastman and businessman Henry Strong. The company is headquartered in Rochester, New York, USA.<br><br>As a developer of film and the first camera for non-professionals, such as Brownie and Instamatic, the company remains one of the world's largest film suppliers, including the amateur and professional markets. It has also entered other imaging-related areas, such as medical imaging, and remains committed to gaining a stronger foothold in the growing digital photography and digital imaging industries.<br><br>The company, formerly known as Eastman, changed its name to Kodak, the first fool-like film camera it produced. Asked about it, George Eastman replied: "In linguistics, the word 'Kodak' is as meaningless as the first 'goo' said by a baby - concise, abrupt, even a little rude, literally cut off by uncompromising consonants, It sounds as simple as the camera shutter in front of you. That's the best name! "The camera was a huge success, and the word Kodak was added to the company's name.
