Unicharm Corporation (ユニ·チャーム株式会社 Yuni chāmu kabushiki kaisha?) is a Japanese company that manufactures disposable hygiene products, household cleaning products, specializing in the manufacture of diapers for both babies and adult incontinence, feminine hygiene products and pet care products. In 2016, it is the leader in baby and feminine care products in Japan.
Unicharm traces its roots to the Taisei Kako Co., Ltd., founded by Keiichiro Takahara in 1961, selling wood wool cement board. The company ventured to manufacture and sell sanitary napkins in 1963. The company then started selling tampons in 1974, when Unicharm Corporation was founded to separate the feminine care production from the main company.
The company has a number of prominent brands in its portfolio, including MamyPoko, Charm, Moony, BabyJoy, Babylove, Sofy and Lifree, Teemo. In December 2011, Unicharm acquired 51% ownership of pet products maker Hartz Mountain Corporation from Sumitomo Corporation.
