OCB Blau Gummizug rolling papers

OCB is one of the world's most iconic brands for rolling papers, with a history dating back to 1822 when the Bolloré family opened their first paper mill on the banks of the Odet River in Brittany, France. The brand name itself is an acronym reflecting its heritage: 'O' for the Odet River, 'C' for the Cascadec mill where production expanded in 1893, and 'B' for the Bolloré family founders. The official OCB trademark was established in 1918.

While the brand was nurtured by the Bolloré family for six generations, a major turning point occurred in 2000 when the Republic Group (now known as Republic Brands), led by American entrepreneur Donald Levin, acquired the OCB trademark and the main manufacturing facility in Perpignan, France. This transition shifted ownership to the United States while maintaining the brand's core production and French identity.

Today, OCB products are manufactured primarily at a carbon-neutral facility in Perpignan, France, which utilizes renewable energy and adheres to high environmental standards. The brand has expanded its global presence to six continents, offering a wide range of papers, including organic hemp and ultra-thin varieties, all while remaining under the ultimate ownership of Republic Brands, headquartered in Illinois, USA.
