Kodak's Oviedo visits Australia
Good beef, great wine and smart graphic communications businesses. That sums up Australia for Gustavo Oviedo, new managing director for Kodak’s INSEAN region - Australia and New Zealand, India, South Korea and South East Asia – and vice president of its Graphic Communications Group (GCG). During his first trip down under in his new role this week, Oviedo met with business leaders and spoke yesterday in Melbourne to i-grafix of Kodak’s ongoing transformation which has seen it invest US$2.3bn in GCG over the past year to secure and integrate businesses like Creo, Kodak Polychrome and Nexpress.
“Change is an enormous challenge for a 125 year old business,” he says, “but we are already halfway towards our goal of changing from a product supplier to a company that delivers total solutions.”
Also nearly complete is a range of new products to be released between now and drupa including, Oviedo hinted, an expanded range of scanners, evolutions in consumables and chemistry, extended solutions for digital print, as well as a single MIS solution to underpin all Kodak technology.
“The purpose of this trip,” he says, “is to help me understand how we can best translate these products and solutions to this market.”
