Kodak Finalizes Bell & Howell Imaging Acquisition

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Feb. 9 -- Eastman Kodak Co. has completed its acquisition of nearly all of Bell & Howell Co.'s imaging businesses for $135 million in cash. The acquired units provide business customers with maintenance for document imaging components, micrographic-related equipment, supplies, parts and services.
The service and micrographics businesses will bring an even greater value to an already robust Kodak portfolio of products and services, said Candy Obourn, president of Kodak's Document Imaging division. We are merging the expertise and best practices of Kodak and Bell & Howell with this acquisition. Our objective is to make the transition as transparent as possible to our customers.
