Godrej Consumer sells diaper brand Snuggy to Nobel Hygiene: Report

Godrej Consumer Products (GCPL) has exited the baby care space by selling its diaper brand Snuggy to Nashik-based Nobel Hygiene for an undisclosed amount, The Economic Times reported.

The company is exiting the baby care space after 15 years, having bought Snuggy from Shogun Diapers in 2003.

“A baby diaper is also one of the most technologically complex product in its price range. With our ability to deliver a consistent, high-quality product for over seven years of manufacturing, we aim to leverage the same expertise for Snuggy,” Kamal Johari, founder of Nobel Hygiene, told The Economic Times.
