Tempo Eucalyptus Pocket Tissues

Tempo is one of the most recognizable brands for high-quality pocket tissues and paper hygiene products in Europe. Originally launched in Germany in 1929 by the company Vereinigte Papierwerke AG, it revolutionized the market with the introduction of the first disposable paper handkerchief. The brand is known for its durability and softness, often marketed as being machine-wash-resistant.

Over the decades, the brand's ownership has transitioned through several major corporations. It was acquired by Procter & Gamble in 2002, but regulatory requirements led to its sale to the Swedish hygiene and health company SCA in 2007. In 2017, SCA spun off its hygiene division into a new global company called Essity. As of 2024 and beyond, Essity continues to own and manage Tempo, producing the tissues across various European manufacturing facilities to supply different regional markets.
