Arbex Begins Independent Operations, Reveals Leadership Team and Structure

Arbex commences operations as an independent business and unveils details of its brand, leadership team, and company structure. Announced in June 2025 as a $3.4B joint venture between Suzano (SUZ) and Kimberly-Clark Corporation (KMB), the new business will manufacture, market and distribute consumer and professional products across more than 70 markets on five continents. Arbex has assumed ownership of assets previously run by Kimberly-Clark's International Family Care & Professional business unit, which includes 22 manufacturing sites in 14 countries, and a portfolio of more than 40 regional brands including Andrex, Hakle, and Scottex. The company also holds a long-term license for the use of Kimberly-Clark's global brands, including Kleenex, Cottonelle, Scott, WypAll, Viva, and Kimberly-Clark Professional. Ehab Abou-Oaf, previously President of Kimberly-Clark's IFP business, directly transitions in as CEO of Arbex. He will be based in London, alongside the majority of the global leadership team. Luis Bueno, previously Executive Vice President of Suzano's consumer goods business, becomes COO. And Oscar Mousinho, a Kimberly-Clark veteran who most recently served as Global CFO of the Pet Nutrition business at Mars, is the incoming CFO. Walter Schalka, who spent over a decade as CEO of Suzano before stepping down in 2024, will chair Arbex's Board of Directors.

Major U.S. Indices Close Mostly Unchanged

The major averages bounced back in the late afternoon, finishing mostly unchanged amid uncertainty over an imminent end to the U.S.-Iran war. President Trump has established an 8:00 pm ET deadline for the two sides to reach an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, otherwise the U.S. will attack Iran's power plants and bridges. Trump's recent comments include the president saying on Truth Social, "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will." Axios later reported that U.S.-Iran talks are showing some signs of progress, while adding that a ceasefire deal by the Tuesday deadline remains unlikely.The major indexes pared much of their losses late in the session after Pakistan's prime minister requested that President Trump extend the deadline by two weeks, and requested Iran open the Strait of Hormuz as a gesture of goodwill.Get caught up quickly on the top news and calls moving stocks with these five Top Five lists.1.
