Brazil is the most highly populated country in South America, with 190 million inhabitants and a favourable economic growth. The market for hygiene products has a good growth potential, this applies especially for incontinence care products, having shown double digit growth.
“I am very happy that we are now establishing ourselves in Brazil, which is also of strategic significance,” comments Jan Johansson, President and CEO of SCA. “We have for some time worked on finding the right solution for entering this important emerging market. With this acquisition of Pro Descart, we now have a presence throughout Latin America.”
