Siemens will market Kodak CR and laser imaging products worldwide

Eastman Kodak Co. and  Siemens Medical Solutions have signed a three-year agreement for Siemens to market Kodak's health imaging systems worldwide.

The new contract expands Siemens' authority to sell Kodak products worldwide, advancing the companies' current pact for only the United States and Europe. Siemens expects to add Kodak products to its worldwide marketing campaign by the end of this year. The promotion already is underway in western Europe and India.

Kodak's portfolio includes its DirectView computed radiography (CR) systems and DryView laser imaging systems. Siemens does not manufacture CR or laser imaging devices.
