Kimberly-Clark personal care products

Founded in 1872 by John A. Kimberly, Havilah Babcock, Charles B. Clark, and Frank C. Shattuck, Kimberly-Clark is an American multinational corporation specializing in household and personal care products. The company initially started as a paper mill in Neenah, Wisconsin, and grew to invent global product categories such as facial tissues (Kleenex) and feminine pads (Kotex).

Today, Kimberly-Clark remains an independent publicly traded company (NYSE: KMB) headquartered in Dallas, Texas. It operates a vast global supply chain with manufacturing facilities in dozens of countries to serve international markets. The company owns iconic global brands including Huggies, Kotex, Kleenex, Poise, Depend, and Scott. Their production is decentralized, occurring primarily in the regions where the products are sold to maintain supply chain efficiency.
