Tempo soft & sensitive tissues

Tempo is a renowned brand of paper tissues, originally established in Germany in 1929 by the Vereinigte Papierwerke AG in Nuremberg. Since its inception, Tempo has become an almost genericized trademark for paper tissues in German-speaking countries, representing high quality and durability. The brand revolutionized the market by introducing the first disposable paper handkerchief.

Today, the brand is owned by Essity, a leading global hygiene and health company headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. Essity was formed following its spin-off from SCA (Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget) in 2017. While the brand has Swedish ownership, its manufacturing heart remains largely in Germany, with major production facilities located in places like Neuss, though supply chains may involve multiple European locations to meet international demand.
