Kodak Xtralife Alkaline Battery

Kodak is one of the most iconic names in American industrial history, originally founded by George Eastman in 1888 in Rochester, New York. While the brand is synonymous with the revolution of photography and film, Kodak has expanded its brand presence into various consumer electronics and hardware sectors through licensing agreements.

Kodak batteries, specifically the Xtralife alkaline series, are manufactured primarily in China under license. The Kodak brand itself is owned by the Eastman Kodak Company, which remains headquartered in the United States and continues to innovate in the imaging and chemical industries. However, the production and distribution of batteries are often managed through global licensing partners like Strand Europe Ltd, which ensures the brand's availability in international markets across Europe and beyond. This business model allows the Kodak legacy to persist in daily household utility items while the parent company focuses on its primary commercial imaging sectors.
