Kimberly-Clark's rising profits, investments and production capacity

The investment, worth zł.18 million, will double the plant's production capacity. The company is continuing its strategy, Project KEYS, since 2003 when it took over a paper mill in Klucze. Last year alone the project cost $12 million. "The Klucze factory will be a spot for expansion of Kimberly-Clark on the markets of Central and Eastern Europe," said Marek Modzielewski, the company's director general. In 2004 the domestic division of the global giant recorded a net profit of zł.18.2 million, up 154% on the previous year. Revenues from sales amounted to zł.578.1 million, up by 22% since 2003. Company representatives hope to see sales rise by 80% over the next three years. (Puls Biznesu, p. 13) A.K.
