The sale will target industry players and equity firms and could value the division, which produces toilet paper, tissues, and napkins, at between 2.5 billion euros and 3 billion euros, according to the report. Morgan Stanley was also appointed to evaluate the unit's potential separation into a new, Sweden-listed entity, alongside the ongoing sale process, the sources added. Essity did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires. (Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
