Bottom line: Japanese diaper maker profits with new product

Article Abstract:

Uni-Charm, the leading Japanese manufacturer of diapers and sanitary napkins, secured 30% of Japan's $1.2 billion diaper market by coming out with a line of disposable paper underpants for toddlers in 1991. This innovative product has helped Uni-Charm to reap a 368% increase in unconsolidated net income and an 18.9% rise in revenue in the year ending Mar 31, 1994. However, to keep ahead of its main rivals, Japan-based Kao and US-based Proctor & Gamble, Uni-Charm's executives are planning to expand into other Asian markets.
