P&G has maintained a strong manufacturing presence in South Africa starting with the production of Pampers
Diapers in 2010. In early 2019, P&G invested a further R300 million rand expanding to the local production of
Always Sanitary pads, utilizing the latest technology in its state-of-the-art facility in Johannesburg.
At the recent 2022 South Africa Investment Conference, P&G announced that it would expand its manufacturing
footprint to include the local production of Ariel Liquid Laundry detergents. Today, P&G’s economic footprint

Industry for their partnership in enabling a positive investment environment. P&G remains committed to South
