Spontex is a globally recognized brand specializing in household cleaning tools, most famous for its high-quality sponges and microfibre cloths. The brand was founded in France in 1932, following the invention of the first cellulose sponge. The name itself is a portmanteau of 'sponge' and 'textile', reflecting its core product identity.

Over the decades, Spontex underwent several ownership changes. Since 2022, the brand has been a key part of Newell Brands' portfolio, following their acquisition of the Jarden Corporation which previously owned the Mapa-Spontex group. Today, Spontex products are manufactured in various locations across Europe and Asia to meet global demand, while maintaining the brand's French heritage and focus on ergonomic cleaning solutions. The brand is easily recognized by its mascot, Ernie the Hedgehog, which symbolizes the effectiveness and durability of their scrubbing products.
