Codi International

Codi is market leader in Europe in the production of wet wipes – impregnated tissues – which are used for baby and skin care and household applications. Codi primarily produces for the consumer market. Its customer base includes multinationals such as Beiersdorf (Nivea), Sara Lee (Zwitsal) and Proctor & Gamble (Kandoo). In addition, Codi produces private label wet wipes. Codi was acquired from the listed company OPG in 2001.

Being independent the management was able to respond optimally to the rapid developments in its markets. Wet wipes for care and household applications are growth markets and to meet this accelerated demand, Codi made substantial investments in new production capacity as well as in its research and development activities. Thanks to these investments Codi has remained at the forefront and expanded its leading role in this fast-growing industry. In 2003 strategic discussions with Finnish listed company Suominen were started and ultimately resulted in the company becoming part of the larger Suominen group.
