Kimberly-Clark Professional Launches Sweepstakes to Celebrate 60th Birthday of KIMTECH SCIENCE* KIMWIPES* Wipers

ROSWELL, Ga., March 19 /PRNewswire/ -- The year 1947 was notable for scientific and technological achievements such as the first supersonic flight and the invention of the transistor and the first commercial microwave oven. It was also the year for another scientific introduction: the first disposable delicate task wiper, KIMTECH SCIENCE* KIMWIPES* Wipers.

To help celebrate 60 years of serving as a vital delicate task wiper used in science labs everywhere, Kimberly-Clark Professional is launching a sweepstakes for laboratory professionals. The grand prize is a Bose(R) Lifestyle(R) 38 Series III Home Entertainment System. Monthly drawings will also be held for:

"After 60 years, KIMTECH SCIENCE* KIMWIPES* Wipers are still the leading delicate task wiper in labs," said Brad Reynolds, KIMTECH category manager. "Not only did it create the category, but after six decades it remains the industry standard for wiping laboratory parts, surfaces and instruments. As we celebrate this milestone, we wanted to reward the laboratory workers who have been such loyal users of our product for all these years."

The sweepstakes began on March 15, 2007 and is open to laboratory professionals age 21 and older who are legal residents of the United States or Canada (excluding the province of Quebec). For entry forms and complete contest rules visit http://www.kimtech.com/birthday.
