§Winston Score History

The full picture

Hengan International makes everyday household products like diapers, sanitary napkins, and tissue paper. Its main customers are families across China, where it is one of the largest producers of personal hygiene and tissue products. The company sells well-known brands including Space 7, Anerle, and Hearttex.

Hengan earns revenue by selling these consumer goods through supermarkets, e-commerce platforms, and distributors, primarily in mainland China. With a market cap around $3 billion, it is a mid-sized consumer staples company that benefits from strong brand recognition and wide distribution networks built over decades. The key risk is intense competition from both domestic rivals and global giants like Procter & Gamble, along with pressure from rising raw material costs that can squeeze margins.
