Komag said it plans to cut 16 percent of its workforce, or 350 people, and take a one-time restructuring charge
of $45 million to $60 million in the third quarter. The independent
supplier of thin-film media for computer hard disk drives said it will also
close two manufacturing plants, as it encounters weakness in demand for
disk products in the corporate market. The company expects sharply lower
sales in the third quarter over the previous quarter and an operating loss,
excluding the restructuring charge.
