Unicharm Corporation (UNICY) manufactures and sells personal care products, with a primary focus on absorbent hygiene items including baby diapers under the Moony brand, adult incontinence products such as Lifree, feminine care items like Sofy, and pet care solutions including urine absorption sheets and cat litter under the Petie brand; it also offers health and beauty products, household cleaning items, and paper products such as tissues and toilet paper. The company operates through three main segments: Japan Personal Care Business, which provides nursing care products and feminine sanitary items; Overseas Personal Care Business, encompassing baby and childcare, adult and feminine care, and pet care products; and Other Business, covering healthcare, packaging materials, and office products. Unicharm maintains extensive global operations across Asia, including China, Taiwan, South Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, and Malaysia, as well as Europe and the Americas, targeting consumers, healthcare facilities, retailers, and pet owners. Founded in 1961 and headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, the company has no major parent but oversees numerous subsidiaries worldwide. In recent developments, Unicharm launched new premium adult diaper lines in Japan and expanded its pet care offerings in Southeast Asia through facility investments in 2024; it also formed strategic partnerships for sustainable material sourcing and completed acquisitions of local distributors in Vietnam and Indonesia to bolster market penetration within the last two years.
