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.
