In response to demands for new solutions addressing folding carton, corrugated, and flexible packaging applications, Kodak, Rochester, N.Y., USA, and Bobst, Switzerland, report that they have formed a strategic development agreement to integrate Kodak technology into the Bobst portfolio of packaging production equipment. Kodak provides disruptive technologies and solutions for the product goods packaging, graphic communications, and functional printing industries, and Bobst is a supplier of machinery and services to packaging manufacturers in the folding carton, corrugated board, and flexible material industries.

"Bobst's commitment to introducing innovative products, its loyal customer base, and Kodak's portfolio of advanced technologies, including the Kodak Stream Inkjet technology, are a powerful combination that we believe will stimulate growth and transformation for Bobst customers and for our industry," said Antonio M. Perez, Kodak chairman and CEO.

"Flexibility, time to market and improved total cost of ownership are increasingly important to our customers. To extend the capabilities of packaging production equipment, we decided to join forces with Kodak in particular because of their strength in the digital arena," noted Jean-Pascal Bobst, CEO of Bobst Group.
