Tempo Deluxe Toilet Paper

Tempo is one of the most recognized hygiene brands in Europe, particularly in German-speaking countries where the name has become synonymous with paper tissues. The brand was originally launched in 1929 by the Vereinigte Papierwerke AG in Nuremberg, Germany. Over the decades, it evolved from a specialty tissue brand into a comprehensive hygiene line including high-quality multi-ply toilet paper.

Ownership of the Tempo brand has shifted through several major multinational corporations. After being owned by Procter & Gamble for a period, it was acquired by the Swedish hygiene company SCA. In 2017, SCA spun off its hygiene unit to create Essity, which remains the ultimate owner of the brand today. Manufacturing is largely focused in Europe, with significant production facilities located in Germany to serve the Central European market.
