The history of Prolab began in 1997, when Kodak opened the first professional photo laboratory in Russia.

The first managers from Kodak brought with them European quality standards and service culture. So a lab was founded, which not only demonstrated the possibilities of print but also adhered to high professional standards.

Our Mission And Concept

Neil Cooper, the former Director general of Russian Kodak department in the years 1992-2004, says: "During the early 1990s Russia knew only black-and-white photography. Nobody believed us when we said we can change the situation in five years. But by 1997, Russia was in the middle of amateur color photography boom. But nobody knew the craft of professional print. So we have opened a laboratory, which was unique in Russia at that time. And ProLab services instantly became highly popular".
