The investment will include an additional 1.1-million-square-feet at the company’s existing distribution facility located at 246 Old Jackson Highway.
“This investment represents the strong progress we are making on our end-to-end supply chain transformation. By bringing together manufacturing and distribution under one automated roof, we are building a more agile, responsive and resilient operating model that will enhance service levels for our retail partners. Beech Island is the largest facility in our manufacturing network, so this new investment will drive impact at scale,” said Kimberly-Clark Chief Supply Chain Officer Tamera Fenske.
Kimberly-Clark is known for its paper-based consumer products, including brands like Kleenex, Huggies, and Kotex. The company also manufactures sanitary paper products and surgical & medical instruments.
“Kimberly-Clark Corporation’s decision to build upon its decades-long legacy in Aiken County is great news for our state and our people. South Carolina is proud to be the home of Kimberly-Clark’s largest manufacturing facility and celebrate its latest investment of over $200 million in the Aiken County community,” noted Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III.
“We are proud to support Kimberly-Clark’s continued investment in Aiken County. This expansion not only reinforces their long-term commitment to the region but also brings new opportunities for economic growth and job creation,” added Western SC Economic Development Partnership Board Chairman Gary Stooksbury.
