The story

In 2007, the Kodak Health Group was sold to Onex Corporation for $2.35 billion in cash. Around 8,100 employees transferred to Onex, and Kodak Health Group was renamed Carestream Health.

In April 2017, Carestream Health announced an agreement to sell its Dental Digital business to private equity firms Clayton, Dubilier & Rice and the Hillhouse Capital Management group, part of CareCapital Advisors Limited.

Carestream Dental provides imaging systems and practice management software for general and specialist dental practices. The dental X-ray film and anesthetics business were not included in the agreement and remain with Carestream Health.
