KMP owns the exclusive global license to market CD-ROMs, DVDs, videotape and related media products under the Kodak brand name.
The company works to obtain the various products from manufacturers across the globe, according to Kodak’s minimum specifications, and then puts them on store shelves.
It has done so, with rapid success, by establishing and managing a wide network of sister companies and other distribution relationships from an office in the old button factory at 300 State St. in Rochester’s High Falls district.
Kodak decided to leave the business in connection with its historic transition from film to digital imaging, choosing instead a licensing arrangement with KMP that brings in a yearly royalty.
The name Kodak is powerful enough and so well-known around the world that it gives those products a leg up on competitors.
