What's Happening?
Eastman Kodak Co. is facing significant financial challenges, with over $470 million in debt threatening its future. In response, the company has diversified its product offerings across four main categories: print products, advanced materials and chemicals, consumer goods, and motion picture products. Kodak's current portfolio includes inkjet printing presses, specialty chemicals, cameras, and motion picture film, among others. This diversification is part of Kodak's strategy to adapt to the digital age and mitigate the impact of its declining traditional film business.

Why It's Important?
Kodak's efforts to diversify its product line reflect the company's attempt to remain relevant in a rapidly changing market. The shift from traditional film to digital and other technologies is crucial for Kodak's survival, as it faces mounting debt and competition. This strategy may help stabilize the company financially and preserve its legacy as an iconic brand. However, the success of these efforts will depend on Kodak's ability to innovate and capture market share in its new product categories.
