Eastman Kodak announces 5,000 More Jobs Cuts
World’s biggest photography company Eastman Kodak Co. has said in a statement that they plan to cut as many as 5,000 more jobs than they had originally expected.
This comes as the company increasingly cuts itself from the consumer film business while focusing on digital photography industry.
With this, the company now aims to cut as many as 28,000 to 30,000 jobs. Kodak estimates that they can cut costs by around $3.8 billion through this initiative.
Kodak began the revamping in 2004 and since then they have cut as many as 23,400 jobs at a cost of $2.7 billion.
Kodak Chief Executive Officer Antonio Perez said in a statement: “The most important thing for me is to complete this transition. I want the $500 to $600 million we keep using every year to do the layoffs to remain in our pockets starting 2008.”
