History

[edit]

Unicharm traces its roots to theTaisei Kako Co., Ltd., founded byKeiichiro Takahara. Takahara's family operated a paper manufacturing business in Shikoku. After resigning in 1961 from his father's paper manufacturing company, he founded his own, Taisei Kako (Taisei Chemical Works). He then turned his attention to the manufacture and sale of selling wood wool cement board. Then the company in 1963 ventured to manufacture and sellsanitary napkins. The company then started sellingtampons in 1974, when Unicharm Corporation was founded to separate the feminine care production from the main company.[5]
