Kimberly-Clark was founded in 1872 in Neenah, Wisconsin by four young businessmen with $30,000 capital and a goal of producing high quality newsprint. In 1920, Kimberly-Clark started manufacturing a creped cellulose wadding material named cellucotton. This was first used as bandages for wounded soldiers in the First World War and then led to the development of Kotex® feminine pads and Kleenex facial tissues. Huggies® diapers were introduced by Kimberly-Clark in 1978, followed by incontinence products in 1980.

In 1995, Kimberly-Clark merged with Scott Paper, a toilet tissue manufacturer founded in Philadelphia in 1879 and the $9.4 billion merger created the global consumer products company that exists and is developing today.
