  • KIMBERLY CLARK CORP Profile

    Nobody knows noses and diapering babies better than Kimberly-Clark, the world's top maker of personal paper products. It operates under four business segments: personal care, consumer tissue, K-C Professional, and health care. Under brand names such as Cottonelle, Kleenex, and Scott, Kimberly-Clark makes facial and bathroom tissues, paper towels, and other household items. Its personal care products include Huggies, Kotex, and Depend. The firm also makes WypAll and Kimwipes commercial wipes. It spun off its paper (Neenah Paper, Technical Paper), pulp, and timber operations to create Neenah Paper. The firm kicked off a multiyear reorganization in 2005 and bought Germany's Microcuff GmbH.
