First Quality has announced a new round of expansions. The absorbent hygiene manufacturer will increase its baby diaper and training pant manufacturing capacity by 50%. This expansion will include an investment in a new manufacturing facility, new diaper manufacturing lines, new training pant lines and a new state-of-the-art automated warehouse facility. This manufacturing expansion will be implemented in stages and is expected to be completed by June of 2025. First Quality will also be increasing its bladder control pad, protective underwear and underpad capacity by over 25%. This expansion will include an investment in manufacturing lines that will enable First Quality to satisfy the growing demands for its products. In addition, the company will be launching new innovative products not currently found in North America and introducing cutting-edge innovations and enhanced features. This expansion will be completed by September of 2025. The location(s) where these expansions will occur will be announced in the second or third quarters of this year. “These investments once again reaffirm First Quality’s ongoing commitment to the absorbent hygiene market as well our commitment to sustainability, supply chain optimization, product development and innovation,” says Allen Bodford, president of First Quality’s Absorbent Hygiene Division. “We look forward to completing these expansions and providing our customers with the innovative, high-quality products and services that they have come to expect from First Quality.”
