Who Is Kimberly-Clark?

Kimberly-Clark was founded with $30,000 from four young businessmen in Neenah, Wisconsin, in 1872. Their values were simple: "manufacturing the best possible products, providing quality service and dealing fairly with employees and customers." With product being sold in over 150 countries, sales of $13.6 billion in 2002 and being named as one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For by Fortune Magazine in 2003, adhering to those founding principles has paid off. Kimberly-Clark has been rewarded with loyal customers, happy employees and domination in world of paper products.

Seven years after John A. Kimberly, Havilah Babcock, Charles B. Clark and Frank C. Shattuck founded Kimberly, Clark and Company, brothers Irvin and Clarence Scott created the Scott Paper Company in 1879 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Through the years Kimberly, Clark and Company and Scott Paper Company would create and dominate new paper products categories. Kimberly, Clark and Company would become the Kimberly and Clark Company, creating innovations from feminine hygiene products to M-45 anti-aircraft gun mounts that would change the paper products industry and creating brands such as Kleenex that would become synonymous with the categories they represented and endure through the decades. Scott Paper Company would develop paper towels and bathroom tissues that would find their way into American homes and turn a nice profit. They were the first to develop paper towels and then created the cross-woven "Thirsty Fibre" construction to help them to dominate the market they developed. Finally, in 1995, after over a century of competition and innovation that would create new categories for paper products, Scott Paper Company merged with Kimberly-Clark. But bringing customers superior products and employees happy work places continues.

What Kimberly-Clark Products does Brandsport Carry?

While all this history may be interesting, by now you're probably wondering "What does Brandsport and a company that manufactures paper towels, diapers and tissue paper have in common?" The answer: WypAll paper towels. Kimberly-Clark's reach isn't just confined to the home. Their line of WypAll paper towels can be found in hospitals, restaurants, automotive repair shops and wide a variety of other industries. Innovations developed by both the old Scott Paper Company and Kimberly-Clark has lead to several lines of super-absorbent and abnormally durable paper towels. One line of WypAll paper towels, X80 ShopPro towels, feel and work like cloth but are a lot less expensive than cloth towels. WypAll X80 paper towels not only quickly clean up solvents, oil, grease or other mess, but they can be washed in a washing machine (but not the dryer) to be used again. Though they can be washed, the nice thing about these paper towels is they are still inexpensive enough to be thrown away. Because of their cost, their ability to absorb oil and water and the fact after allowing them to dry they're ready for more, we think these paper towels would make excellent shop rag and towels. But just because they make great shop towels doesn't mean the WypAll X80 ShopPro towel doesn't have other uses. They same durable, reusable and absorbent qualities that makes them great shop towels also would make them great for cleaning up spills and messes in your kitchen, car or bathroom. Since they come in a variety of sizes, not mention methods of dispensing, WypAll X80 ShopPro towels can find a home almost anywhere.

Even though we're excited about WypAll X80 shop towels, WypAll also makes a line of paper towels used in the health care industry for cleaning patients. The paper towel fibers are as soft as cloth yet inexpensive enough to throw away for sanitary purposes. WypAll also produces napkins and wipers for restaurants and grocery stores that not only clean but also help the workplace stay sanitary for food handling. Other heavy-duty X-type paper towels can be found in industries as varied as logging, computers, janitorial and manufacturing.

Kimberly-Clark and the Environment

Not only is Kimberly-Clark dedicated to creating quality paper products but they're also dedicated to leaving the lightest impact on the environment as possible. Currently in its professional, private label and value products where cost and performance are the main concerns, Kimberly-Clark manufactures these products with recycled fibers and researching how to get the most out of using pre- and post-consumer recycled paper. Even the packaging Kimberly-Clark uses for their paper towels, tissues and other products are made from recycle fibers and the plastic can be recycled. While they do use cellulose fibers that comes from wood, the trees Kimberly-Clark uses come from their own professionally managed forestlands and tree farms from professional growers. In Kimberly-Clark managed woodlands they plant about two trees for every one they use and only buy from growers who follow Kimberly-Clark's standards. You will never find the fibers of trees from tropical rain forests in any Kimberly-Clark products. Kimberly-Clark's factories also meet and often exceed air and water quality standards as well. You can use Kimberly-Clark products with the peace of mind knowing the paper towel, tissue or napkin was made by a responsible company that cares about the environment as much as you do.
