ONTEX

Ontex is a leading international manufacturer of hygiene solutions for baby, feminine and adult care. Our high quality, value-for-money products are distributed in more than 110 countries both through the brands of major distributors and under our own brands.

Their close relationship with the healthcare institutions to which they supply their products dates back to 1979, when they produced and supplied underpads to hospitals, clinics and nursing homes in Belgium. During the 1980s and 1990s they expanded their product range to include incontinence briefs and incontinence pads, disposable nappies and panty liners, and acquired manufacturing and distribution facilities in Europe, the Czech Republic and Turkey. Their first factory outside Europe started operations in China in 2006, soon followed by a manufacturing plant in Algeria. In 2011 they acquired one of Europe's largest suppliers of disposable hygiene products, Lille Healthcare, and opened production facilities in Australia, Russia and Pakistan. In 2013 they expanded their range of incontinence products in Italy with the acquisition of the Serenity brand. June 2014 is the date of their most recent milestone: Ontex is listed on the Euronext stock exchange in Belgium, giving us a solid financial base with which to continue to develop new products, work with customers and pursue new markets. The strategic acquisition of the P.I Mabe Group in 2016 accelerates the transformation. The Ontex platform is expanding beyond Western Europe, further penetrating growth markets. The acquisition of the personal hygiene business Hypermarcas S.A. marks another important milestone in its ongoing transformation process. This new step extends the market position in the Americas to Brazil.

Ontex has been in the personal care sector for many years and we fully understand the complexity of the markets in which they operate. This knowledge allows them to create their own brands; but it is also invaluable when it comes to designing and creating successful products and solutions for others.

Baby care

Some of the brands marketed by Ontex are as follows:

Canbebe is a nappy brand distributed in the Middle East and Africa. Famous for being a quality product at a good price point, it is the preferred brand for mothers in the market.

Helen Harper is especially popular with our consumers in Eastern Europe, Russia and Africa.

Moltex is the range of environmentally friendly nappies created, developed and sold in Germany. Made from sustainable raw materials.

Bio Baby does its bit for ecology because it contains as many sustainable materials as possible, so that babies do not have to deal with their environmental impact when they grow up. The products also integrate sustainable materials to break the dependency on non-renewable resources, conserving them for the future world of babies.

Bbtips is the first nappy brand that thinks about new parents and offers them not only highly reliable nappies, but also valuable baby care advice both on the product packaging and on their website and social media.
