Most manufacturing jobs are leaving our country.We are the last company here in America making printing plates.Fiji left this year.Here is the plant I have been working for over 30 years.It started out as Polychrome,Then they merged,then Kodak bought them out.5 more years and I will retire...We work under yellow lights cause of the plates.So if your wearing a blue shirt,it is green in the plant.I bought a house,it's paid for,5 Vehicles and still have the same wife.

Cool vid but "last company here in America making printing plates"? That made no sense, so I had to fact check that one. This site lists 219 companies still manufacturing printer plates in the US so all hope for America is not lost after all.  https://www.thomasnet.com/products/printing-plates-61430203-1.html

 

Could be Kodak is pulling their employee's chain to get more work out of you.

I think the US is positioned well in the up coming future. As long as your government/elite don't destroy the rest of the world trying to  maintain it's hegemony. Or it is intentionally destroyed by your leaders for a cause we aren't a part of. (In that case most of the western world is in lock step any way so we are all fucked... like the rabbit) 

Either way the world is in for a crash that makes 2008 look like a fun time maybe more like the great depression. Hard to say... but thankfully the politicians that put us in to this shit show will be the perfect people to fix everything, trust them they have your best interest at the centre of their priorities.  

 

 

 How cool to be alive during the biggest financial crash and recession in history! add in the scamdemic it is going to be awesome looking back at history and how it was completely rewritten to be nothing like what actually happened. 😀

Nope,we are the last man standing.Companies buy our plates and others from different countries and resell them as independent dealers.Since they resell them,they repackage them and can't use our name.Fuji left America and now are in China.But we are World wide.I have been with the company over 30 years and I use to know all our competitors.,and Fuji was the last one.Here is a company that resells our plates.https://www.industryintel.com/printing-and-publishing/news/kodak-signs-ohio-based-graphco-as-reseller-for-its-entire-range-of-print-solutions-including-prepress-ctp-digital-and-inkjet-printing-software-solutions-printing-plates-graphco-works-with-commercial-packaging-printers-finishing-companies-157489252776 Here is what fuji did with there printing plate making in the USA.We make the state of the art plates and they could not compete with us.We ran them off to China.https://printplanet.com/threads/fujifilm-stopping-production-of-printing-plates-in-us.291423/Don't mess with us .Can't work no harder,pushing buttons is so easy.No one has a printing plate manufacturing site in the USA,North America,but us.Their are distributor sites that will sell you printing plates made out side North America.We have customers here that use our printing plates from our makers over seas.They send them to us and we cut them to size and package them and send them to be used.We put labels on the package as to where they were made.Our companies overseas does not do everything as we do it.If you got a pack of plates from us versus them,you can tell the difference,but the name is still Kodak.Check this out.https://www.kodak.com/en/print/products/offset/platesAnother major company we ran off in 2018,close there doors...https://www.piworld.com/article/agfa-announces-plans-close-offset-printing-plate-manufacturing-facility-new-jersey/  Check this out, we keep on going,we are Biden proof too.Another Kodak moment.I still use my Kodak Z-950 Camera,it stamps the date on them,no camera does that.
