George Eastman, Kodak's founder, coined the now-famous slogan "you press the button, we do the rest". Today, that slogan is just as pertinent as it was over 125 years ago.
Throughout the world, people rely on Kodak products to capture moments that inform, enlighten and inspire.
Kodak's mission is to empower customers to create, share and use pictures to
the greatest extent possible. Kodak moments are universal.
Kodak Canada Inc. was founded in 1899, almost a decade after the incorporation
of its parent company, Rochester-NY-based Eastman Kodak Company. Its first
office, at 41 Colborne Street in downtown Toronto was established after John
G. Palmer was sent by George Eastman to investigate the burgeoning Canadian
market. Impressed with the growing metropolis, Palmer was convinced that
Toronto offered great opportunities for the photography business. Just two
years later, the company was so successful that it had to relocate to larger
quarters on King Street. The popularity of picture-taking stimulated Kodak
Canada's growth, resulting in the establishment of offices in
Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. Today, Kodak Canada's sales, marketing, service and support teams offer customers a full range of products and services that make picture taking and picture making easier, faster, more versatile and more exciting - whether for memories, for information, for business or for entertainment.
