Kimberly-Clark (K-C) is to expand production at its Mobile, Alabama-based facility after investing over $130m in a consumer hygiene production line.
The line is expected to position the facility for future investment, while also enhancing the site’s role in K-C’s North American operations.
Tamera Fenske, Chief Supply Chain Officer at K-C, said: “This expansion represents a strategic investment in Kimberly-Clark’s future and underscores our commitment to solving unmet consumer needs through innovation.
“Our Mobile facility exemplifies manufacturing excellence, powered by a team whose skill, dedication and passion deliver the essential products our consumers count on every day.
“This investment not only enhances our North American manufacturing capabilities but also deepens our longstanding partnership with the Mobile community.”
The new production line is expected to become operational by the third quarter of 2027.
The Mobile Chamber is a private business organisation with more than 1,600 members and the economic developer for the City of Mobile and Mobile County.
