25 Years in the Nonwoven Fabrics Business History You may not know us by our company name, but we're sure you know our consumer products. For more than 130 years, Kimberly-Clark has provided the world with trusted products, such as KLEENEX® Facial Tissue and HUGGIES® Disposable Diapers. For the past 25 years, Kimberly-Clark has been the innovator in developing and manufacturing a wide assortment of nonwoven fabrics. Nonwovens are a cornerstone in delivering superior personal care and health care products that have made Kimberly-Clark a market leader in nearly every category we compete. About Business to Business Partnership Products We have transformed from a traditional roll goods manufacturer, selling excess capacity, to a specialty material and customized products provider. We offer custom-made materials and finished products solutions by leveraging Kimberly-Clark’s unique technologies, customer and consumer insights, and our expert product development know-how. In fact you would be surprised to know that Kimberly-Clark technology drives the superior performance of numerous consumer and commercial products that do not have our brand. Technology Many advancements have broadened nonwovens technology. Kimberly-Clark pioneered SMS, a laminate of spunbond and meltblown that holds back fluids while allowing air to pass through. Our pulp and polypropylene fabrics combine natural and synthetic fibers to provide outstanding absorbency in a simple form that doesn't fall apart. Elastomeric fabrics offer flexibility to stretch - some in one direction and some in both directions. And our work to marry nonwoven fabrics and film is generating thin products with fluid barrier properties, breathability and a cloth-like feel.

Valued Partner Kimberly-Clark now ranks as one of the four largest nonwoven fabrics producers in the world, holding the largest nonwovens patent estate. Since 1980, as a division of Kimberly-Clark, Business to Business Partnership Products has expanded technical capabilities and capacity with a focus on increasing customer satisfaction. Many of our customers include us in the front-end of their new product initiatives. If your business is in need of a customized solution, count on Kimberly-Clark to create something to satisfy your needs.
