The origins of Kimberly-Clark Vietnam

Kimberly-Clark’s story starts in 1991. The initial operations were carried under the name of TN VINATHAI CO. LTD. In 1991/92, we introduced Kotex Softina to the Vietnamese consumer and it quickly become the #1 brand in Vietnam market. Production lines were located both in Hanoi and HCMC.

Between 1992 and 2000, we also launched Kotex Tulip and Kotex Freedom with lots of success. In 2000, we became a 100% FDI company: Kimberly-Clark Vietnam Ltd. (KCV), wholly owned by Kimberly Clark World Wide Inc.

In 2003, construction started at the Binh Duong Mill at the Vietnam-Singapore Industrial Park (VSIP) and all manufacturing was quickly consolidated at one location.

In 2003, KCV introduced the well-known KOTEX XÌ TIN brand.

Between 2004 and 2010, together with Kotex XìTin brand, KCV has introduced a number of famous brands: Kotex White, Kotex White Pro, Kotex Natural Care and imported Kleenex and Huggiesbrands.

The Huggiesrange of Nappies, Tape Diapers (HuggiesDry) and Diaper Pants (HuggiesDry Pants) grew rapidly to become one of the leading brands in Vietnam.
