K-C is continuing to work with customers like Wal-Mart to determine how RFID technology can be used to potentially improve the accuracy and functionality of such mission-critical applications as shipping and receiving, invoicing, and inventory control.
Kimberly-Clark has a history of being recognized as a leader in RFID technology. In 2005, K-C's Auto-ID research lab in Wisconsin was one of only two facilities in North America to be awarded the first Global Performance Test Center Accreditation Marks by EPCglobal Inc.
The award recognized K-C's leadership role in the testing of Gen2 RFID technology with the EPCs used in the global supply chain. In November 2005, the company also received the first Early RFID Adopter Award from Consumer Goods Technology magazine.
Kimberly-Clark and its well-known global brands are an indispensable part of life for people in more than 150 countries. Every day, 1.3 billion people - nearly a quarter of the world's population - trust K-C brands and the solutions they provide to enhance their health, hygiene and well-being.
With brands such as Kleenex, Scott, Huggies, Pull-Ups, Kotex and Depend, Kimberly-Clark holds No. 1 or No. 2 share positions in more than 80 countries.
