Does Kimberly-Clark support Israel?

Acquired 49.9% of Hogla Ltd., a leading Israeli consumer-products company then wholly owned by American Israeli Paper Mills (later Hadera Paper), creating the Hogla-Kimberly joint venture to expand production in Israel for local and regional demand. On March 31, 2000, Kimberly-Clark raised its holding to a controlling 50.1%.

Agreed in January 2015 to buy Hadera Paper's remaining 49.9% of Hogla-Kimberly for NIS 650 million (~$162 million, including NIS 40 million for a four-year non-compete), making the Israeli company wholly owned by Kimberly-Clark through its Kimberly-Clark Turkey holding. The business was subsequently rebranded Kimberly-Clark Israel.

Wholly owns Kimberly-Clark Israel Ltd. and Kimberly-Clark Israel Marketing Ltd. (both listed in the FY2025 10-K subsidiaries exhibit, filed 2026-02-12). Kimberly-Clark Israel, the former Hogla-Kimberly, was described in 2011 tissue-industry trade press as Israel's largest maker and marketer of non-food disposable consumer products (that ranking was not independently re-verified as current); headquarters offices are in Tzrifin, with manufacturing plants in Hadera (tissue), Afula (diapers and wipes) and Nahariya, producing brands including Huggies (sold locally as Titulim), Kleenex, Kotex and Lily. Kimberly-Clark's corporate channels have highlighted continued investment and output growth at the Afula plant.
