US based household paper firm Kimberly-Clark has announced the closure of its nappy factory in Ikorodu, Lagos, and with it the company’s exit from Nigeria, Trend Type reports.
According to sources, the factory is shutting its doors just two years after opening, having been operating at below capacity since 2023. Kimblerly-Clark is said to have struggled to make the plant profitable in the face of the high cost of energy and raw materials.
Kimberly-Clark originally began operating in Nigeria in 2012, subsequently pausing for some years and then restarting in 2021.
As well as shuttering its manufacturing facility, Kimberly-Clark is reportedly also closing its commercial office and will ceasing marketing its Huggies and Kotex products in Nigeria.
