Unicharm Corporation manufactures and markets personal care and hygiene products. The company produces baby care products including disposable diapers and wipes; feminine care products such as sanitary napkins, tampons and panty liners under the Sofy brand; wellness care products comprising adult incontinence products and nursing pads; pet care products encompassing cat litter, pet sheets, pet diapers and pet foods; along with household cleaning products and food-packaging materials. Unicharm operates primarily in Japan, China, Southeast Asia including Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Kenya, and other international markets. Founded in 1961, the company maintains headquarters in Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan. Unicharm pursues growth through innovation in absorbent materials and nonwoven fabrics, targeting consumers from infants to the elderly and pet owners. In 2025, Unicharm established a joint venture with Toyota Tsusho in Kenya to produce and sell affordable sanitary products like SOFY Long Lasting, enhancing distribution via sachet packaging and local production. The company also signed a comprehensive partnership with Shinagawa Joshi Gakuin to empower women and address social issues, launched ESG goals under Kyo-sei Life Vision 2035, commenced operations at a new pet food plant in Jiangsu, China, and introduced products using recycled RefF pulp across wellness, baby and pet care lines. Recent treasury share repurchases and disposals support capital optimization and shareholder value.
