Mar 07, 2015. /Lesprom Network/. SCA has inaugurated its first manufacturing facility for personal care and tissue products in India. SCA has invested SEK 150 million ($17.7 million) in the plant, which produces baby diapers and tissue for the Indian market, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

“The low penetration of hygiene products and the large population in India provide the potential for future growth. The plant in Pune will enable us to further leverage the growth potential in India. The investment is in line with our strategy of strengthening SCA’s presence in emerging markets. Meeting customers and employees and understanding the markets we operate in is very important to me, why this trip, my first as President and CEO of SCA, means a great deal to me,” says Magnus Groth, President and CEO of SCA.

SCA is a leading global hygiene and forest products company.
