OUR MISSSION
More about
what we do
PADCO exists to locally manufacture high-quality, affordable sanitary pads through a sustainable model. To ensure long-term impact and business sustainability, we also serve the retail market with the same high standards of quality. Our goal is to grow and meet at least 20% of the national demand, improving dignity, accessibility, and choice for women and girls. PADCO is the proud manufacturing partner for MENstruation Foundation’s Agojie pad range, the first ‘free only brand sanitary pads’ in South Africa.
