What Essity does
Essity operates a scaled manufacturing-and-distribution model focused on essential hygiene and health products. It creates value by developing branded and professional-use products, producing them efficiently across a global supply chain, and selling them through retail, healthcare and business distribution networks. Revenue is generated from repeat product purchases in categories with everyday or recurring usage, which supports resilient demand across both consumer and institutional segments.
Category differentiation
Essity is a hygiene and health products manufacturer, not an adtech, martech or software platform vendor. It is the public corporate entity formed after the SCA separation, not merely a single product brand or regional subsidiary.
