KimberlyClark

Kimberly-Clark Corporation, commonly known as Kimberly-Clark, is an American multinational personal care company. It develops, manufactures, and markets paper-based consumer products, including tissues, diapers, and feminine care products. Its well-known brands include Kleenex, Huggies, Kotex, Scott, Cottonelle, and Viva.

The company traces its origins to 1872 in Neenah, Wisconsin, where John A. Kimberly and Charles L. Clark established a paper manufacturing business that evolved into Kimberly-Clark. Over the decades it expanded internationally and diversified its product line, notably introducing disposable tissues and baby care products that became global leaders.

In 1995, Kimberly-Clark merged with the Scott Paper Company, creating the Kimberly-Clark Corporation as it is known today. The merged company retained the Kimberly-Clark name and continued to form strategic brands and acquisitions to expand its footprint in consumer care.

Today, Kimberly-Clark operates as a multinational corporation with products sold in many countries and manufacturing operations around the world. It maintains headquarters in Irving, Texas, and focuses on sustainable manufacturing, responsible sourcing, and product innovation to meet consumer needs in personal care and everyday hygiene.

The company publishes annual sustainability reports outlining progress toward environmental and social goals and adheres to various governance standards typical of large publicly traded consumer goods firms.
