Canada

Kodak Canada was founded by Eastman Kodak in 1899 in a Toronto shop where employees cut sheet film and fitted lenses on cameras to support the growing potential for a photographic market in Canada. As Canadian interest in photography grew, the company expanded across the country throughout the 20th century to produce in all aspects of photography including still and movie cameras, film, x-ray film, photocopy paper, and photographic chemicals under many popular names including Brownie, Kodacolor, Carousel, and Supermatic. Kodak Canada a été fondé par Eastman Kodak en 1899 dans un magasin à Toronto ou les employées coupaient des feuilles de film et mettaient des lentilles sur des caméras pour appuyer le potentiel du marché photographique au Canada. Le plus que l'intérêt photographique Canadien a grandi, la compagnie s'est étendue à travers le Canada pour produire plusieurs aspects photographiques incluant des appareil-photos, film, film radiographique, papier à photocopie et produits chimiques de photographies.
