Former Kodak Image Sensor Solutions business officially becomes Truesense Imaging
Rochester, NY--Truesense Imaging, which makes high-performance image sensors for use in commercial, industrial, and professional imaging, today formally announced its new corporate identity. Formerly the Image Sensor Solutions (ISS) division of Eastman Kodak Company, Truesense Imaging was acquired by Platinum Equity through a transaction with Kodak that closed on November 7, 2011; Truesense is now operating as an independent company.
The former ISS mostly made CCD image sensors; while CCDs have lost much market share to CMOS sensors over the past few years, CCDs are still used in high-end applications such as pro photography, some medical and scientific imaging, and some industrial imaging that require the better image quality provided by CCDs.
"We are extremely pleased to officially announce the launch of our new brand and corporate identity," said Chris McNiffe, chief executive officer of Truesense Imaging and former general manager of Kodak's ISS business. "As an independent company, we now have a great opportunity to expand our leadership position and to grow into new markets and new applications that leverage our core strengths in imaging technology."
Truesense Imaging is headquartered in Rochester, NY. The company-owned facilities in Rochester house all research and development, marketing, and business operations, including a highly specialized image sensor-manufacturing operation.
