Overview
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 company also makes WypAll and Kimwipes commercial wipes.
