It may not be obvious to the dumb ass bears, but the reasons Kodak was chosen as part of this new Private-Public Partnership for national security:
Kodak has a huge manufacturing footprint consisting of: * 1200 Acres of Land * 16 million sq. ft of manufacturing space * 88 manufacturing reactors * a wastewater treatment facility * expertise at manufacturing specialty chemicals (for film) which are not much different than the Key Starting Materials (or KSMs) that are used as the building blocks for medicine production that we are currently buying from China * It will take awhile to reach full capacity, but they are ready to go and able to start producing KSMs soon.
