Swedish forest and hygiene products company SCA has announced yesterday that it will invest about SEK 150 million (€ 17.3 million) in local production of hygiene products in southwest India. Production at SCA’s own plant is planned to commence in 2015. To prepare the entry on the vast market, SCA intends to introduce some of their hygiene product brands including baby care products already in late 2013.

"India’s large population and the low penetration of hygiene products provide the potential for future growth", says Jan Johansson, President and CEO of SCA.
