The Need for Speed - Changing Times for Dispersible Products

The world of dispersible products has changed dramatically over the last 2-3 years, competition has intensified as multiple large scale manufacturing operations have been installed all over the world, dramatically outpacing the market growth itself. Against this backdrop, we have seen continued pressure to drive Moist Toilet Tissue performance characteristics to that of dry toilet tissue levels or even beyond.
