Receiving EPCglobal's accreditation also recognizes K-C's efforts to drive greater value for our retail customers by using this promising technology to address their critical business issues such as out-of-stocks and inefficiencies in the global supply chain.

The accreditation also certifies that K-C's RFID lab capabilities, including the RFID tags, readers, printers, and applicators used in the facility, have been rigorously tested against EPCglobal standards, and have demonstrated the ability to present retail customers winning, innovative and cost-effective EPC and RFID solutions for the global supply chain.

Perkins concluded that as they continue to explore the potential of RFID technology, they believe it will enable K-C to become an 'indispensable partner' with our retail customers, allowing us to be more responsive to their needs and to provide them with accurate and up-to-the-minute EPC information to jointly enhance supply chain applications. Joining K-C as the only other North American facility to receive accreditation from EPCglobal is the University of Arkansas' RFID Research Center at the Sam M. Walton College of Business, in Fayetteville.

K-C and its well-known global brands are an indispensable part of life for people in more than 150 countries. Kimberly-Clark offers information on tissue and personal care products for families, babies and children, women and the elderly and commercial tissue. Every day, 1.3 billion people - nearly a quarter of the world's population - trust K-C brands and the solutions they provide to enhance their health, hygiene and well being.
