Eastman Kodak plans to emerge from bankruptcy protection by the end of September after shedding most of the businesses that turned it into an American icon. The reorganized Kodak will focus instead on commercial imaging and printing, where it believes it can become profitable, according to its reorganization plan.
Founded in 1880, Kodak filed for bankruptcy protection at the beginning of 2012. It had survived for years on the remnants of its old businessparticularly its early patents for consumer digital cameras that eventually replaced the film business. It has been selling bits of the company through most of the past year.
