Kimberly-Clark Corporation

Kimberly-Clark Corporation is an American multinational consumer goods and personal care company headquartered in Irving, Texas. Founded in 1872, the company's core business revolves around manufacturing and marketing a wide range of paper-based consumer products, sanitary paper products, and surgical and medical instruments. Its mission is to deliver "Better Care for a Better World" by providing essential hygiene and health products globally, adhering to values of quality, service, and fair dealing to improve the lives of billions every day.

The company operates through three primary segments: Personal Care, Consumer Tissue, and K-C Professional, offering a diverse portfolio of well-known brands. Key products include Huggies diapers, Kleenex facial tissue, Kotex feminine hygiene products, Cottonelle and Scott toilet paper, Depend and Poise incontinence products, and Wypall and KimWipes for professional use. These products are distributed worldwide, reaching consumers and businesses in over 175 countries.

Under the leadership of Chairman and CEO Mike Hsu, Kimberly-Clark is actively reshaping its market position through its "Powering Care" strategy and a "2024 Transformation Initiative." This strategy focuses on divesting non-core, lower-margin businesses to concentrate on premium and durable brands, aiming for innovation-led growth, cost savings, and modernized supply chains. The company recently announced its organizational structure and leadership team in anticipation of its pending acquisition of Kenvue Inc., expected to close in the second half of 2026. Kimberly-Clark maintains strong market positions, with its brands holding #1 or #2 share in approximately 70 countries.
