Kimberly-Clark expands Beech Island plant amid layoffs elsewhere
Kimberly-Clark Phased job cuts continue worldwide yet Beech Island, South Carolina, gains new expansions.

The plan stems from a 2005 agreement offering a $200 million investment and at least 200 local jobs in exchange for tax incentives.
