**About the Company**

Kimberly, Clark and Co. was founded in 1872 by John A. Kimberly, Havilah Babcock, Charles B. Clark, and Franklyn C. Shattuck in Neenah, Wisconsin with US$30,000 capitalization. The group's first business was operating paper mills, which the collective expanded throughout the following decades. In 1928 the company went public as Kimberly-Clark. Through its 140+ year history, Kimberly-Clark has been a leader in innovation and in introducing products that have become household words. In 1914 the company developed cellu-cotton, a cotton substitute used by the United States Army as surgical cotton during World War I. Army nurses used cellu-cotton pads as disposable sanitary napkins, and six years later the company introduced Kotex, the first disposable feminine hygiene product. Kleenex, a disposable handkerchief, followed in 1924. KC has given birth to new categories with brands like Kleenex® and redefined categories with its Huggies® and U by Kotex® brands.

The company has gone through a number of acquisitions & also later spin-offs / sales. Under the leadership of Darwin Smith as CEO from 1971 to 1991, company went from being a business paper company to a consumer paper products company. After the spinoff of its Health Care division in 2014, it now operates through three business segments: Personal Care, Consumer Tissue, K-C Professional
