About Kimberly Clark CORP

Kimberly-Clark Corp (ticker KMB) is a global consumer staples leader listed in the United States on the NYSE/NASDAQ market. For investors, it is best viewed as a defensive, household-name franchise with exposure to essential hygiene and personal care categories, supported by strong brand equity and a broad international footprint. Founded in 1872 and incorporated in Delaware in 1928, Kimberly-Clark has built its business around everyday essentials that improve health, hygiene, and well-being. The company’s global headquarters and principal executive office are located in the Dallas, Texas metropolitan area, United States. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/55785/000005578525000013/kmb-20241231.htm)) The group manufactures and markets a wide range of products made from natural or synthetic fibers, nonwovens, and absorbency technologies. Its portfolio is organized around five global daily-need categories: Baby & Child Care, Adult Care, Feminine Care, Family Care, and Professional. Key brands include Huggies, Kleenex, Scott, Kotex, Cottonelle, Poise, Depend, Andrex, Pull-Ups, GoodNites, Intimus, Plenitud, Sweety, Softex, Viva, and WypAll. This brand depth is central to the investment case, supporting shelf presence, consumer loyalty, and pricing power in many markets.

Under this restructuring, the company now reports three operating segments: North America, International Personal Care, and International Family Care and Professional. That shift signals a stronger emphasis on execution, supply-chain simplification, and more disciplined capital allocation.

Distribution spans supermarkets, mass merchants, drugstores, warehouse clubs, department and variety stores, e-commerce, and professional channels serving manufacturing, lodging, office buildings, food service, and other high-volume facilities. Walmart remains the company’s largest customer, accounting for a meaningful share of consolidated sales, underscoring the importance of large retail partners in the model.
