As part of HIDA's ongoing visits to manufacturing facilities across the healthcare supply chain, Kelley Taft and Callie Barthel from the HIDA team visited Essity’s Bowling Green, KY manufacturing plant this week. It was great to get a behind-the-scenes look at the Bowling Green facility, where incontinence products are made right here in the U.S.

What really came through during the tour was Essity’s strong culture and focus on quality, innovation, safety and sustainability. You could see those priorities in action throughout the facility — and in the people behind the products.

Thank you to the team for welcoming us and giving us a closer look at your Bowling Green operations!
