In an attempt to streamline its operations, activities of the present Kodak photo lab at Jörfölla, Stockholm, Sweden, will be shifted to the Kodak lab in Kolbotn near Oslo. Kodak expects from the transaction a better cost structure, faster production as well as better quality standards. Depending on negotiations with the staff and unions in Sweden, the measure will be completed between two and six months from now.
