Tempo Facial Tissues

Tempo is a globally recognized hygiene brand specializing in high-quality facial tissues. Originally founded in Germany in 1929, the brand became famous for introducing the first disposable paper handkerchiefs to the European market. Over decades, it has established a reputation for softness and strength, often featuring distinctive blue packaging and floral designs as seen in the image.

While Tempo has German origins, its ownership and manufacturing have shifted through several multinational corporations. For many years, it was part of the Procter & Gamble portfolio until it was acquired by the Swedish hygiene giant Essity (formerly SCA). Today, Tempo is manufactured in several countries to serve local markets, including major facilities in Europe and Asia (particularly China and Hong Kong). The brand remains a household name across Europe and Asia, operating under the umbrella of Essity’s consumer goods division.
