The Anton Group also bought two Kodak digital production presses, which are made in Rochester.
Kodak — which had 500 employees in Kettering when the company last gave employee counts — filed for Chapter 11 protection in late January. Kettering is home to the company’s commercial inkjet facility, where its business inkjet printers are designed.
The Anton Group is one of the U.K.’s largest printing, mailing and fulfillment companies, Kodak said in a statement.
Kodak did not give an exact sales price, but in its announcement, the company called the purchase a “multimillion-pound deal.” One British pound sterling is trading at about U.S. $1.60.
Kodak has said the Kettering operation will be a part of the company’s future.
