Agfa
(Agfa-Gevaert NV) has today announced it plans to lay off 4,000 employees
(20% of its global work force) to concentrate on digital imaging. This
is kind of interesting after they were quoted back in July as saying "No
more digital cameras". Agfa-Gevaert Chief Executive Ludo Verhoeven
said the company, best known for its photographic films, needed to invest
more in new technologies, such as digital imaging. "We can only grow
if we are profitable,'' Verhoeven told the VRT television network.
