KODAK LOOKS TO THE FUTURE
WITH CHANGES TO BUSINESS IN HARROW

At  the  start  of  the  year (January 22nd)  Eastman  Kodak
Company  said  that  in order to deliver  on  its  digitally
oriented strategy, it would reduce its global facilities  by
about one-third over three years.  This comes in response to
a  fundamental shift in customer and consumer behaviour with
the  rising popularity of digital photography.  As a result,
Kodak has consolidated many different types of functions and
operations  at  sites across the globe in order  to  respond
more  effectively to customers in a world that  is  becoming
increasingly  digital. Today sees the details  announced  of
how this will affect Kodak's Harrow site.

The  details  include the downsizing, by 250  employees,  of
operations  in Harrow with the closure of an operation  that
sensitises  films  for the graphics industry.  However,  the
Harrow  site, which at present houses around 1350 employees,
will  become the headquarters for operations in the  UK  and
will  gain  in numbers with over 300 jobs moving from  Kodak
House   in   Hemel  Hempstead  to  Harrow  as  the  business
restructures for the future.

Dennis  Lock, Director of Manufacturing, based at the Harrow
site, said:

"Today's announcement comes as Kodak continues to change the
business  to  meet the rapid shift in consumer  trends  from
traditional   to   digital  imaging.   As   part   of   this
announcement,  the  Harrow Site, which will  remain  one  of
Kodak's  major manufacturing operations, will gain with  the
transfer  of around 300 jobs from other parts of  the  Kodak
business.

"This  has  been  a difficult decision to take,  and  is  no
reflection on the highly-valued work performed by  personnel
we   have   working  within  the  traditional  manufacturing
operations  at  Harrow.  Kodak,  like  every  other  imaging
company,  is  responding to changing customer  and  consumer
preferences.  All employees affected will  be  treated  with
respect, with Kodak ensuring they receive highly competitive
severance terms, plus access to counseling support, as  well
as   access   to  an  outplacement  program  to  assist   in
identifying alternative employment.

"The  Harrow site remains one of Kodak's major manufacturing
operations  and will continue to provide the  best  products
and  services  for its customers. With the site's  workforce
actually growing as a result of this announcement,  we  will
continue to play an important role in the local community."
