About us

Nateen, manufacturer of absorbent care since 2009

Founded in Belgium by a geriatric-care professional and made in our own factories since 2009, Nateen designs single-use absorbent protection — for adults, after childbirth, for babies — sold in more than 60 countries. One brand, one quality, prices calculated fairly.

Our story

Nateen's story starts in Belgium, well before 2009. Its founder, Alexandre Nemesnepi Aliter Kósa, built a care group for older people there: medical accommodation, urgent and non-urgent medical transport, support services. His end-of-studies thesis in neuro-geriatrics — akinesia in people with Parkinson's disease — had already put him face to face with daily dependence.

In the field, one observation kept coming back: the protections available made people put up with incontinence rather than live well with it. From that came the idea of a range designed to improve the quality of life of incontinent people and of those who care for them.

In 2009 the idea became a brand and a factory: Nateen, made in Quanzhou, China, at Dashan Paper — first for hospitals and care homes, soon for families who asked for the same quality at home.

Over the years the range grew — pull-on underwear, underpads, inserts and bladder pads, maternity, baby — always with the same rule: high-grade superabsorbent, generous basis weights, real absorption figures published, and a price that stays fair because we manufacture ourselves.

Today Nateen has three factories (China, Central Europe, United States), a Middle East warehouse in Dubai, a Latin America base in São Paulo and Asia-Pacific offices in Singapore. More than half of the world's population lives within a day's drive of a Nateen site or in one of its logistics zones.

What we stand for

Honest figures

Absorption, sizes and weights come from the factory data sheets and laboratory tests, in the units you use (ml and fl oz, cm and inches).

Dignity first

Products that look like clothing, discreet packaging, guides written for real people and their carers.

Made by us

Our own lines, our own quality control, from raw material to finished bag. No white-label surprises.

Responsible materials

Cellulose from renewed forests, cardboard boxes, industrial plastic offcuts pelletised for recycled uses — and ongoing research to go further without losing protection.
