Kodak to cut 300 jobs in Colorado
Eastman Kodak Co. will eliminate about 300 jobs as it shuts down two different manufacturing operations at its Colorado plant this year.
Kodak’s Colorado plant is in Windsor, north of Denver.
The move is part of Kodak’s ongoing efforts to “maintain competitiveness and maximize utilization of worldwide manufacturing capacity,” the Rochester-based company said Tuesday.
Kodak (NYSE: EK), said by the end of 2009 it will shut down the Windsor plants’ printing plate manufacturing operation and a converting and packaging facility for motion picture films. The work of those divisions will be transferred to other Kodak plants that have extra capacity, the company said online payday advance.
Kodak said much of the plate production handled by the Windsor plant will be transferred to its plant in Columbus, Ga. The other division, converting and packaging of motion picture films, will be transferred to the company’s primary film manufacturing center in Rochester, Kodak said.
In some cases, impacted employees will be offered the opportunity to take other positions at the Colorado Site, or to transfer to the other Kodak sites, the company said.
