They had no coating facilities in Switzerland, but a lab, their last Kodachrome lab of all.

The stuff I sent to Switzerland came back in Dewan's boxes. They might have had a lab at one time before they started shipped them to US.

I think ie from memory when they closed the coating line at Harrow they had 400 people who needed new jobs though this probably closed film finishing jobs as well.

The UK lab box 14 Hemel Hempstead was an enormous windowless building ( not like a modern mini lab) it still had a large number of high volume slide mounting stations which were state of the art in their day.

If you fell into the silver recovery plant you needed a Mae West.
 
Kodak definitely had their own K14 lab in Switzerland for many years, and it was the last of their own labs to close.
In the final years of Kodachrome the Swiss address became a mailing station for films to and from Dwaynes lab in Kansas.
 
They might have had a lab at one time [in Switzerland] before they started shipped them to US.


See this thread with a translated video-documentary on that lab:

You can proably search through the old threads on APUG.

Kodak's K-14 labs dwindled to the one in Switzerland, and as each other lab closed "magical" arrangements were made to ship film back and forth to the swiss lab. When it closed, Kodak switched to having the work done by Dwanyes photo in the US, who ended up being the last lab.

During this time, I recall being told to send a roll of Kodachrome to Flushing NY, and getting it back in the mail from switzerland.
