Kodak's Creo deal gains further go-ahead

Kodak has jumped another hurdle towards closing the deal to buy Creo with approval being granted by the European Union.

The deal is still awaiting the approval of the competition authorities in the United States and South Africa, although Kodak is confident that it will be finalised this summer.

The news comes hot on the heels of the announcement that Kodak GCG's European operations will be headed up by Creo veteran Israel Sandler.
