AgfaPhoto’s products and market position
The group concentrates on business-to-business activities in the areas of
lab equipment, photographic papers and photo-chemicals for the production of photo prints. AgfaPhoto develops, produces and markets digital minilabs for decentralized production of prints in photo stores; it also provides digital high- performance systems for the wholesale finishing industry. Both minilabs and wholesale finishing systems process images which are either captured by digital or analog means. Peripheral systems include: self-service terminals for digital orders, generally connected with a minilab and/or a printer, as well as internet services, which – amongst other features - allow remote orders from home PCs. Furthermore AgfaPhoto develops, produces and distributes films and sells memory systems for digital cameras to end consumers. With films showing strong decline this segment shrank to below 25 percent of total sales.
AgfaPhoto is world market leader in wholesale finishing systems and private label films. This spring the trade media organization TIPA elected the d-lab1 as "Best Digital Minilab 2004 -2005". AgfaPhoto is among the world’s four largest suppliers in all the major business areas it is active in.
