Agfa-Gevaert Group is all about image. It makes and markets photographic and electronic imaging systems for photography, pre-press, and medical imaging processes worldwide. About 30% of Agfa's sales come from consumer products, which include film, photographic paper, digital cameras, scanners, and from equipment for photofinishers and labs. Agfa also makes films, laser imaging systems, and systems for digital radiography. Europe accounts for about 40% of its sales. Agfa can trace its roots to Aktiengesellschaft fur Anilinfabrikation (a dye factory started in 1867) and to L. Gevaert & Cie (a photography-paper supplier started in 1890).
