Bankrupt photographic equipment maker Eastman Kodak Co. (EKDKQ.PK) and UniPixel, Inc. (UNXL) announced that they have entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement to produce next-generation touch sensors based on UniPixel's UniBoss multi-touch sensor film.
As per the deal, Kodak and UniPixel will open a new manufacturing facility within Eastman Business Park in Rochester later this year to produce touch screen sensors for the dynamic and growing touch module market that is predicted to more than double to $32 billion by 2018.
The companies said that they have already begun to construct a state-of-the-art manufacturing and testing facility with nearly 100,000 square feet of manufacturing space for the UniBoss roll-to-roll printing and plating lines. In 2013, $24 million will be allocated to improve and equip the facility, which includes the installation of two printing lines and 15 plating lines.
