3.1 switch

Kimberly-Clark Canada, headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the US public company Kimberly-Clark Corporation (Nasdaq: KMB), which agreed in November 2025 to acquire Kenvue in a deal still pending as of Kimberly-Clark's August 2026 earnings release; the acquisition does not change the US parent. Its Canadian shelf brands split between diapers made at US plants (Huggies, Pull-Ups) and household paper (Kleenex, Scott, Cottonelle, Viva) partly run through the Huntsville, Ontario mill, though Kleenex's own boxed facial tissue was discontinued in Canada in 2023. Huggies and Kleenex are both confirmed in stock at Giant Tiger; Walmart and Voila could not be checked this run.

Switch: Kimberly-Clark Canada is a wholly owned subsidiary of the US-based, Nasdaq-listed Kimberly-Clark Corporation.

Factors

Ownership

US 100%

Kimberly-Clark Corporation was incorporated in Delaware in 1928 and is headquartered in Irving, Texas, trading on Nasdaq (moved from the NYSE in May 2025) as KMB; Kimberly-Clark Canada is its wholly owned subsidiary. Kimberly-Clark agreed on November 2, 2025 to acquire Kenvue for stock and cash; the deal remained pending as of the company's Q2 2026 results and, either way, does not change the US parent country.

Manufacturing

CA 20% · US 80%

Huggies and Pull-Ups diapers sold in Canada are made at Kimberly-Clark's US plants. The household paper brands (Kleenex, Scott, Cottonelle, Viva) have historically run partly through the company's Huntsville, Ontario mill, still named as a major local employer, but Kleenex's own consumer facial tissue was discontinued in Canada in 2023 and Kimberly-Clark's recent 10-Ks no longer list individual manufacturing sites, so the current Canadian share of tissue output could not be confirmed and this mix is an estimate weighted toward the larger US network.

Kimberly-Clark Canada's head office is in Mississauga, Ontario, per the dateline the company has used for its own Canadian press releases, and it also employs plant staff at Huntsville. Continental functions such as the North America president and global supply chain leadership named in Kimberly-Clark's 2025 10-K are based in Irving, Texas, so a minority share is counted as US; no Canada-specific headcount is published.

Tissue brands draw on wood pulp and recycled fibre; Kimberly-Clark has reported sourcing roughly 750,000 metric tons a year of virgin natural-forest fibre plus growing shares of recycled and alternative fibre (bamboo, wheat straw), without naming source countries, so some Canadian and mostly US/North American pulp is assumed. Huggies and Pull-Ups diapers use petrochemical-based nonwovens and superabsorbent polymer that are not Canadian-sourced, counted OTHER. No vendor-published material breakdown was found, so this mix is an estimate.
