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

100 years of service to Polychrome
Simon Chu,JenChi Huang, JB Huang and I met again for a Japanese lunch at Sazan restaurant in Ardsley NY, our usual hideout. These four represents approximately 100 years of combined service to Polychrome Corporation. As usual it was good to seeing each other and catching up on the recent news such as of grandchildren ( and great grand children in case of Simon), health reports such as aches and pains and a bit of Polychrome related news such as three production plants, in Columbus, Katzenstein and Gunma still operating while Agfa and Fuji cut back their non-domestic production sites.
