"Canada continues to be a significant market for Kodak with tremendous growth potential," said John O’Grady, Managing Director, U.S. & Canada Region and Vice President, Eastman Kodak Company.

Running continued, "I’ll be organizing a regional structure that focuses on the East, Ontario, and West markets. Each region will be equipped with an account manager and sales specialist to ensure our customers develop deep relationships with their Kodak representatives. We’ll also have two technical product leads in Canada and will emphasize KODAK solutions that enable businesses to automate production and expand into new markets while differentiating themselves for long term future growth."
