Kodak - with factory in Harrow - files for bankruptcy protection
Jan 19 2012 By Ian Proctor
KODAK, the camera film firm whose oldest and largest manufacturing plant of photographic paper is in Harrow, has filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States.
The US-based company's factory in Harrow View, built on a seven-acre plot of land purchased in 1890 and opened in 1896, employed 6,000 workers at its height in the 1950s but has seen numbers reduced since then.
Kodak filed with a federal bankruptcy court in New York for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code which allows it to restructure the business in an effort to repay creditors.
