Kleenex pocket tissues

Brand History and Evolution

Kleenex is one of the most recognized brands in the world, having become a generic trademark for facial tissues in many countries. The brand was originally created by the Kimberly-Clark Corporation in 1924, initially marketed as a cold cream remover. Over the decades, it evolved into the staple hygiene product it is today, known for its soft, disposable paper tissues that provide a convenient and sanitary alternative to cloth handkerchiefs.

Ownership and Manufacturing

The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of Kimberly-Clark, a multinational personal care corporation headquartered in the United States. Kimberly-Clark operates a vast global supply chain, allowing for localized manufacturing to serve different markets.

This specific product, as indicated by the Spanish text ('Pañuelos') and the barcode starting with 750 (the GS1 prefix for Mexico), is manufactured and distributed by Kimberly-Clark de México, S.A.B. de C.V. This local subsidiary is a significant market leader in the Latin American region and operates under its own corporate structure while maintaining the Kleenex brand standards.
