Kimberly-ClarK
THe manufaCTurer of Kleenex, Huggies, Kotex and Baby Soft needs little introduction. But growing business in Africa is a task for a specialist. As Managing Director of Kimberly-Clark South Africa, Garth Towell points out that while the CPG business and portfolio accounts for 65 percent of the companys multi-million annual revenues, their other businesses Kimberly-Clark Healthcare and Kimberly-Clark Professional service key business and healthcare sectors of the economy and support the corporate vision of leading the world in essentials for a better life.
Bucking global trendsThe recession might have been expected to hit CPG sectors hardest; however in South Africa the K-C portfolio has continued to grow both in volume and value share terms in most categories: We havent seen consumers

leaving the categories, but there have been signs of down-trading from premium to value particularly in our personal care portfolio.
The biggest single change to the business has been the 2008 acquisition of overall share-holding by Kimberly-Clark Corporation. Long-time minority shareholder The Lion Match Company, Kimberly-Clarks local BEE (black economic empowerment) partner decided to change strategic course and offered KCC their shares in a win-win deal that led to K-C South Africa becoming a wholly owned subsidiary.

as preferential procurement, skills development and employment equity. The company has recently retained its Level 5 rating on the BBBEE score-card.
The change signals Kimberly-Clarks intent to invest more significantly on the African continent, says Garth Towell. Kimberly-Clark International is required to double its business over the next five years as part of the Kimberly-
Clark Corporations five-year Global Business Plan and Sub-Saharan Africa needs to deliver its part in achieving these goals. Over the past couple of years we have started to put forward attractive business plans, delivered on short-term commitments and thereby earned international credibility and investment funding from our shareholders.

The challenge of AfricaWhile South Africa will always form the biggest part of a Sub-Saharan African growth plan, future growth opportunities are going to be in the emerging African economies of the 21st century, where Kimberly-Clark currently operates through a network of distributors. We have a presence in 23 other markets: countries like Ghana and Angola are leveraging their natural resources and we have seen a far bigger amount of disposable income become available to consumers. The size of available disposable income in Asia or Latin America but we have seen disposable income double in the last five years. And there has been a greater degree

of political stability, he adds. Ghana, Kenya and even Nigeria are shedding the inefficiency and corruption that used to restrict investment and, once the remaining hurdles are overcome, Towell expects Nigeria to become a primary engine of growth on the continent.
Recent multi-million dollar investments in both the Johannesburg and Cape Town facilities have proved KCCs appetite for emerging market growth opportunities. We have been striving to establish this business as an investable proposition to our shareholders and that is being recognised. When operating in an deflationary and unstable macroeconomic

environment you should be focusing on how to run a business more efficiently, more effectively, whilst continuing to attract and develop talent through growth strategies.
Lean and sustainableThis mindset has led to the adoption of LEAN principles within the business: I put my hand up for South Africa to be a pilot for the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Africa region. The programme has been developed with management consultants McKinsey and he has been impressed as much by the cultural change as by production metrics which are expected to be impressive.

their housekeeping, the charts and boards that have been developed on the line showing what is expected against what is being achieved!
At the same time as introducing the lean business philosophy Kimberly-Clark introduced end-to-end planning processes, which uses real time data to improve ways of doing
business. The result? Significant improvements in forecasting accuracy, production performance against the plan, service levels and speed-to-market.
His vision for Kimberly-Clark Sub-Saharan Africa is ambitious nothing less than building a $1 billion business by 2015. Talent management will be the key to
achieving that goal, he says: People want to be working for a great employer. We participated in the local Best-Company-To-Work-For survey for the first time this year and were ranked in the top 35 of medium-large size companies in South Africa which provides a solid foundation, as we strive to achieve top 10 status by 2015.
