Kodak is going to close the complete photolab in Waddinxveen in the
Nederlands, and 116 people will lose their job. This all because of the
maassive move of consumers from film based photography to digital.
The diminishing sales on film is compensated by the increase of digital
Kodak products, like camera's and a sort of counters at supermarkets and
photostores, where consumers can create prints from the pictures they
made using the camera build into their cellular (=mobile) phone.
The photolab work for the Nederlands will now be done from the Kodak lab
in Belgiom (Oostende).
Kodak will vclose over 20 of the 47 labs in Europe.
In the past summer Kodak already announced they will free up money by
lowering the dividend in order to improve their digital business.
