"What gives Kimberly-Clark Professional an edge is its responsiveness to end-user needs and its price stability," adds Rosemberg. "The company visits end-users on a regular basis to determine unmet needs and detect potential opportunities for innovation. It also investigates and innovates within its own manufacturing facilities, keeping abreast of the latest manufacturing techniques and materials."

Further, Kimberly-Clark Professional's goal is to offer high quality products at competitive prices. The company charges prices similar to its competitors while also offering a distinctive new product feature.

Due to its commitment to quality and price assurance, a high degree of end-user acceptance, and the continuous ability to satisfy new client needs in an increasingly diverse marketplace, Kimberly-Clark Professional effectively differentiates itself from other market participants. Based on the above cumulative criteria, Kimberly-Clark Professional's new gloves are the deserving recipient of the 2008 Frost & Sullivan Award for Product Innovation in the U.S protective gloves market.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has demonstrated excellence in new products and technologies within its industry. The recipient company has shown innovation by launching a broad line of emerging products and technologies.
