Kodak ScanMate i940 scanner

The Kodak ScanMate i940 is a portable desktop document scanner originally developed by the Eastman Kodak Company. Kodak, an American icon in the imaging industry founded in 1888, has undergone significant corporate structural changes over the decades, leading to the separation of its document imaging division.

In 2013, the Kodak Document Imaging business was acquired by the Kodak Alaris company, which was formed following a spinoff from the Eastman Kodak Company as part of a settlement with the Kodak Pension Plan (UK). Today, products like the ScanMate series are managed under the Alaris brand, while maintaining the prestigious Kodak name through a licensing agreement. Manufacturing for these electronic peripherals is primarily centralized in China to leverage global supply chain efficiencies.
