More than 50% of the Swindon operations business was believed to have been involved with producing sleeves for EMI.
When the music group announced the closure last year, AGI chairman Tony Garnish said the firm would be reviewing the "balance of capacity" between Swindon and Uden (PrintWeek, 3 May 2002).
AGI is now undertaking 30 days of consultation with staff, but the closure will not be fully implemented until April. Some administrative and customer service staff will have the opportunity to transfer to other AGI sites.
Around 20 staff also took voluntary redundancy in the summer.
