Tambrands

Tambrands was a U.S.-based consumer health and personal care company best known for manufacturing and marketing Tampax tampons. Originally founded as Tampax in 1936, the company became the leading global tampon supplier and sold products in numerous international markets. It was not a drug-development biotech or pharmaceutical company; rather, it operated in women's health through menstrual hygiene products. Tambrands was acquired by Procter & Gamble in 1997, and its brands now sit within P&G's portfolio. The requested entity is therefore a real company and an exact match, but it is no longer an independent active company.
