ROCHESTER, NY and SINGAPORE, Aug. 1 -- Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE: EK) today announced an agreement in which Flextronics International Ltd.

Under the agreement, Kodak will divest its entire digital camera manufacturing requirements to Flextronics, including assembly, production, and testing. Flextronics will also manage the operations and logistics services for Kodak's digital still cameras. Kodak will continue to develop the high-level system design, product look and feel and user experience, and will conduct advanced research and development for its digital still cameras. Kodak will also retain its intellectual property.

Upon closing of the transaction, Flextronics will acquire a significant portion of the Kodak Digital Product Center, Japan, Ltd.

"Most importantly, this strategy enables us to sustain our history of innovation and sharpen our focus on advanced development and other areas of the business where we can gain the greatest competitive differentiation and advantage," Blake said. "This will ensure that we continue to bring innovative products to the marketplace that delight our customers."

"The expansion of our business relationship with Kodak adds significant strategic value to Flextronics' Consumer Digital market segment. The design expertise we will acquire from Kodak's operations in Japan and the transferring of its production into our China facility will broaden the scope of the competitive services we can provide on a global scale as well as leverage operating efficiencies for both companies. We are extremely excited about the opportunities this business relationship will bring to our company," said Greg Westbrook, President of Flextronics' Consumer Digital market segment. "Today's announcement is another demonstration of the immense value of our vertically-integrated services by providing global, end-to-end design, manufacturing, logistics, and end-to-end supply chain architecture services.
