Tempo sanft und frei facial tissues

Tempo is one of the most iconic brands in Germany, so influential that its name is often used as a generic term for paper tissues in German-speaking countries. Originally founded in 1929 by the Vereinigte Papierwerke AG in Nuremberg, the brand has a long-standing history of innovation in hygiene products.

Today, Tempo is owned by Essity, a Swedish global hygiene and health company that was formerly part of SCA (Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget). While Tempo originated as a German brand, its corporate ownership is now Swedish. Manufacturing remains heavily concentrated in Europe, specifically in Neuss, Germany, though supply chains are international to meet global demand.
