Qualex
Qualex Inc. was the largest wholesale and on-site
Qualex's business slowed from the overall decline in traditional film photography in favor of digital photography. Qualex once operated 53 photo processing laboratories; that number had shrunk to 22 by June 2004, and the company saw further consolidation. Qualex, however, continued to service over 13,000 on-site retail processing locations.[2] On December 18, 2008, Qualex announced that it was shuttering all of its film processing facilities, essentially ending send-out film developing by Kodak.[3] However, their Event Imaging Solutions division remained.
March 27, 2009 was the company's last day for send-in photofinishing, while March 30, 2009 was the last day for Internet orders, and that day marked the end of Qualex's photofinishing.
