Here’s your weekly recap—the most-viewed news stories on our site for the week ended December 6, 2025.

In an SEC filing this week, Kimberly-Clark shed more light on its previously announced agreement with Suzano S.A. to form a global joint venture combining its International Family Care and Professional business with Suzano’s tissue assets. The deal will create a $3.4 billion global consumer and professional tissue products manufacturer.

Under the structure of the deal, Suzano will acquire a 51% interest in the new entity for approximately $1.7 billion in cash, while K-C will retain a 49% equity stake. K-C’s IFP business will be treated as discontinued operations in its financial statements. The joint venture will own Kimberly-Clark’s non-U.S. consumer tissue and professional operations, which includes 9000 employees and 22 manufacturing facilities across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, South and Central America, Africa, and Oceania, and will operate more than 40 regional brands plus licensed global brands such as Kleenex, Scott, Cottonelle, Viva, WypAll, and Kimberly-Clark Professional in its territories.

Meanwhile, Ontex Group has tripled its production capacity for baby pants in North America and further improved its operational efficiencies to strengthen its North America’s bi-coastal manufacturing model. The strategic expansion is designed to provide U.S. retailers with an optimal cost-to-serve and assured supply—two critical advantages in a fast-growing segment where affordability and reliability to meet consumer demand matter most.
