Eastman Kodak Company announced Randy Vandagriff, who has played an integral role in the development of Kodak’s ULTRASTREAM technology and Kodak’s digital print business since 2004, will become president of the Enterprise Inkjet Systems Division effective May 1, 2017.
 
“It’s an exciting time to continue driving Kodak’s inkjet business forward, as ULTRASTREAM Technology will move production inkjet into the mainstream of commercial printing, packaging, labels and home décor,” Vandagriff noted.
 
Vandagriff will replace Philip Cullimore, who is leaving Kodak to take a career sabbatical.
 
“It’s a pleasure to welcome Randy to this new role. As a tenured 35-year innovator in inkjet, Randy will help us accelerate market penetration of ULTRASTREAM technologies into new high growth markets with our OEMs,” said Jeff Clarke, Kodak CEO. “Philip has had a strong track record of improving each of the businesses he has managed at Kodak. We have seen this again in bringing our fast-growing inkjet business to profitability while continuing growth in our best-in-class Packaging business. This is an opportunity for him to pursue his goal of running a business headquartered near his European base.”
