For much of the 20th century, Kodak was the world's dominant power in photography. It was based in the capital of the USA's optics industry, Rochester, New York. Soon after its first successes it founded plants elsewhere in the world. The plants in Great Britain and Germany often developed original Kodak camera types of their own. So this article is dedicated to the Kodak plants in other parts of the world. The British and the German plants and their products are covered in the articles Kodak Ltd. and Kodak AG.
