Kimberly-Clark pulling Kleenex tissues from store shelves in Canada

LETHBRIDGE, AB – Canadians soon won’t find Kleenex tissues on store shelves.
U.S. manufacturer Kimberly-Clark says its Kleenex consumer facial tissue business is leaving Canada this month.
The company’s Canadian vice-president and general manager says the decision to pull Kleenex from the country was a difficult one, prompted by a highly constrained supply environment and “unique complexities” faced by the brand.
Todd Fisher says the move will allow Kimberly-Clark to shift its resources to better focus on other products that will remain in Canada.
