Film Laboratories Barrandov Joins the Kodak Imagecare Program Fold

Kodak is proud to welcome another member to its prestigious IMAGECARE Program. Film Laboratories Barrandov (FLB) in the Czech Republic has become the latest laboratory to successfully achieve KODAK IMAGECARE Program accreditation.

"Our attempts aimed at obtaining the Kodak Imagecare Program certificate were a logical result of our efforts in the area of maintaining high quality negative processing standards," says the FLB Director, Aleš Bošti?ka. "Along with my colleagues headed by Pavel Jelen who supervises the project we were able to convince our employees of the effectiveness of this step. We are proud that we have succeeded in obtaining the certificate and we believe it will demonstrate and guarantee quality for both our existing and future customers."

The independent assessor Odile Maugaurd commented, " We had a very close relationship with Barrandov Laboratories exchanging many mails and chemical analyses.The lab was very well organised and operations ran smoothly. The operators were perceived to be handling daily routines in a very professional way and all the staff were strongly committed and extremely involved from the outset."
