Polychrome Corporation, a brainchild of Mr. Halpern, is now a major part of Kodak Co. and continues to live on. But the small company spirit died on Jan 1. 1998 when the company became a part of DIC-Kodak joint venture. This blog is dedicated to the memory of those who proudly call themselves "Polychromer". ..... Ken Shimazu shimazukenichi@gmail.com

Yonkers facility around 1988 from Mr. Kawaguchi
I received a note from Mr.Takeshi Kawaguchi with photos of Yonkers facility around 1988. Thank you very much Mr. Kawaguchi for sharing these memories.
Dear Mr. Shimazu
My name is Takeshi Kawaguchi. I was dispatched to Yonkers by DIC in 1988 to prepare for the construction of a printing plate factory in Gunma. I'm about 70 years old now, and retired. I sometimes file and sort photos I took before and upload to Google maps.
While I was looking around Yonkers, New York on the Internet, I found your Polychrome archive. Thank you very much for creating such a precious record.
Here are some pictures of the Yonkers factory while I was there.
I would like to express my deepest thanks to all the Polychrome people.
I remember you often kindly invited us for lunch. I also thank Mr. Simon Chu, whose business and leadership attitude greatly impressed me.
If you know Jen-chi Huang's email address, please let me know, for I would like to convey my gratitude.
I am not sure if your computer has a Japanese language environment, so I am writing this in English.
Corona's outlook is completely unknown, and anxiety and confusion continue. I hope you are paying attention and staying healthy.
Sincerely yours,
Takeshi Kawaguchi
