Kimberly-Clark Corporation announced on May 1, 2025, plans to invest over $2 billion over the next five years in its North America business, marking the company's largest domestic expansion in more than 30 years. This investment aims to significantly enhance U.S. manufacturing capacity, accelerate innovation plans, and support ambitious growth targets for brands like Huggies, Kleenex, and Depend.
The broad-based investment program centers on two transformative projects: a new advanced manufacturing facility in Warren, Ohio, and an expansion of its Beech Island, South Carolina, site with a state-of-the-art automated distribution center. These facilities will leverage proprietary manufacturing technologies and advanced robotics to improve operational efficiencies and speed to market.
These projects are expected to create more than 900 highly skilled jobs in industrial automation and advanced manufacturing. Construction for both facilities is scheduled to begin in May 2025 and is anticipated to be completed over the next two to three years, reinforcing Kimberly-Clark's strategic bet on the American consumer and innovation-led growth.
