With Plate Demand Up, Kodak Boosts Production

Colombus Georgia Plate Manufacturing Plant

Kodak has been experiencing a significant increase in demand for KODAK SONORA Process Free Plates in the United States as more American printers recognize the quality, efficiency, and sustainability benefits of Kodak process-free technology. To meet growing demand, Kodak has now increased its local production capacity for its process-free plates.

At the Kodak plate plant in Columbus, Georgia, manufacturing of SONORA Plates has been expanded to a second production line. The Columbus facility produces SONORA Process Free Plates and TRILLIAN SP Thermal Plates, serving printers throughout North America, Canada, and South America. This ensures a reliable regional supply and prompt delivery.

American-made Kodak plates offer consistent quality, secure supply, and environmental benefits − critical advantages for printers facing tight deadlines, cost pressures, and growing sustainability requirements.

“We take pride in the growing popularity of our innovative process-free technology among U.S. printers. The expansion of our domestic SONORA Plates production capacity demonstrates Kodak’s ability to quickly adapt to the evolving needs of our print customers,” commented Jim Continenza, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Kodak. “This move highlights our commitment to local manufacturing in our home market, continuing to support American jobs and bolstering the strength of the domestic printing industry.”
