Kodak Factoy Coburg
Construction of the Kodak factory site at Coburg began in 1957 on 23 hectares of former farmland purchased by the company in 1943. From a cottage industry started by Thomas Baker in 1886 at Abbotsford, the first factory to produce Kodak products was developed at the Abbotsford site in 1908 and gradually grew to encompass adjacent properties in the area. Having outgrown these premises by the early 1950s the decision was made to move all operations to the greenfield site at Coburg.
