SCA invests in increased capacity within incontinence care in the Netherlands.
SCA is the world-leading provider of incontinence care products. To keep pace with the strong growth in demand for heavy incontinence care, the Group decided to invest in increased capacity in the Netherlands.
At the plant in Hoogezand, SCA is investing in a new production line for the Tena Pants incontinence product to support the strong growth in Europe, where sales in the Pants segment are outpacing global growth. The investment in Hoogezand amounts to SEK 155m, and the plant is scheduled to start operation at the end of 2009.
At the facility in Gennep, SCA is investing SEK 184m in a new production line for the Tena Flex incontinence product, which is also designed to satisfy rising growth in Europe. Flex products aremainly sold to institutions and nursing homes and development of the segment has come furthest in Europe, where SCA is market leader.
The new line will be started up in the third quarter of 2009.
