Summary
Forklift and staff with pallets of boxed product on a Kodak branded truck in Building 6, Distribution Centre, at the Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd factory at Coburg, 1973.
Building 6 was later replaced by a new bigger distribution centre, Building 21, which was also known as the KE Allen Building. It officially opened in 1979 to cope with the bigger volume of product the factory was producing.
Colour slide from a lecture series titled 'Kodak in Australia...Coburg', issued by the Kodak Marketing Education department of Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd, circa 1970s. It was originally housed with other slides in a yellow Kodak branded binder. Images in the binder include views of the Coburg factory site, workers, and graphic diagrams showing the various departments and staff hierarchy.
This object is part of the Kodak Heritage Collection of products, promotional materials, photographs and working life artefacts collected from Kodak Australasia in 2005, when the Melbourne manufacturing plant at Coburg closed down.
