Zewa is a household name in Europe, specializing in high-quality tissue products including handkerchiefs, toilet paper, and kitchen rolls. The brand's journey began in Germany in 1960, founded by the company Zellstoff-Waldhof. The name 'Zewa' itself is an acronym derived from the first two letters of its founding company and its headquarters location (Zellstoff-Waldhof). Over the decades, it has become synonymous with soft yet durable paper hygiene products.

While originating in Germany, Zewa is currently owned by Essity, a global hygiene and health company headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. Essity was formerly a part of the Swedish forest products group SCA but was spun off as an independent company in 2017. Today, Zewa products are manufactured across various European sites to maintain a localized supply chain and minimize environmental impact. The brand often carries FSC certification, indicating paper sourced from responsibly managed forests.
