    The hygiene and health company Essity has decided to initiate a strategic review of the company’s ownership of the Asian hygiene company Vinda International Holdings Ltd (Vinda) and the Consumer Tissue Private Label Europe business with the aim of reducing Consumer Tissue’s share of the company’s total sales.

    Essity’s ownership in Vinda amounts to 51.59% and Essity consolidates 100%. Vinda is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and had a market capitalization of approximately HKD 26bn (approximately SEK 34bn) at the end of trading on April 25, 2023. Vinda’s net sales in 2022 amounted to approximately SEK 25.1bn and EBITA amounted to approximately SEK 1.1bn. Of Vinda’s net sales, 83% were related to tissue and 17% were related to personal care.

The business encompasses seven production facilities in Belgium, France, Germany and Italy with approximately 1,900 employees.
