Moltex Pure & Nature Newborn Diapers

Moltex is a pioneer in the eco-friendly diaper market, originally established in Germany. Known for producing the world’s first environmentally friendly diaper in 1991, the brand has focused on sustainability and skin health through its 'Pure & Nature' line. While it promotes 'German Quality' on its packaging, the physical manufacturing of these diapers primarily takes place in the Czech Republic, where the parent company operates specialized production facilities.

The brand has undergone several ownership changes in recent years. It was previously part of the Ontex Group but was sold to the UK-based investment firm Rodney Day (supported by various private equity interests) as part of a strategic divestment. As of 2026, Moltex continues to operate under the umbrella of Ontex's former hygiene manufacturing legacy but as an independent brand focused on the European sustainable consumer goods sector.
