Davew, The article I posted a couple pages back, said it was to produce chemicals including Hydroxy--. None of the articles I've read, said anything about delivery systems. That's what Retractable Technologies does(very well). Chemicals and systems to produce cameras, film, and medical ingredients are worlds apart.
Even the medical specialized chemists have totally different skill sets. I've worked as a consultant in a medical products industry(delivery systems) and the total facility clean room conditions are most likely not required to make cameras or film devel. chems. It's on the level of surgical rooms, but on a massive scale, and Kodak will surely be required to build and install that. On the other hand, they did produce aspirin for a while back in the 90's, but sold all those facilities. I would agree that their film chems. production would help them to get up to speed faster than someone who makes widgets, but not faster than a hundred large pharmaceutical companies. Not even close. Somebody's getting paid.
(edit) My thinking is Peter Navarro, who's Trump Czar on bringing manufacturing back to the US has taking every opportunity to stick it to the large Pharm companies who have been making products overseas(China & Asia). They recently seized a lot of masks and other PPE's that 3M made abroad to sell to other countries.
