Kodak Australasia manufactured and produced a wide range of products via its Abbotsford, Burnley and Coburg factories in Melbourne. Discover the factories that were the heart of operations for Kodak Australasia and its predecessors.
The Abbotsford Factory, 1884–1964
On the banks of the Yarra River, home to the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people for many thousands of years, a new industrial era was emerging in Abbotsford, Melbourne, in the late 1880s - in the form of a factory to make photographic products.
The Burnley Factory, 1950–1974
The Burnley Factory was a thriving and busy arm of Kodak Australasia’s onshore manufacturing operations, with chemical processing and black and white photo processing taking centre stage.
The Coburg Factory, 1961-2004
