SCA is to invest around SEK 150 million in the local production of nonwoven-based hygiene products – Tena incontinence pads, Tork femcare and Libero baby diapers, as well as Tempo tissue – in southwest India.
Production at SCA’s own plant is planned to commence in 2015.
“This investment creates a solid platform for us to leverage the favorable growth opportunities that exist in the hygiene products area in India,” says Jan Johansson, president and CEO of SCA. “The investment is in line with our strategy of strengthening SCA’s presence in emerging markets.
“India’s large population and the low penetration of hygiene products provide the potential for future growth. The aim is to introduce SCA’s hygiene products into the Indian market in the latter part of 2013.”
