Scott is one of the world's most recognized brands for paper towels, toilet paper, and napkins. The brand's history dates back to 1879 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, when it was founded by brothers E. Irvin and Clarence Scott. They are famously credited with being the first to market toilet paper on rolls, a revolutionary step in domestic hygiene.

Today, the Scott brand is owned by Kimberly-Clark, a multinational personal care corporation. While the brand originated in the United States, its manufacturing footprint is global, with production facilities located in North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America to serve regional markets efficiently. The brand remains a cornerstone of the Kimberly-Clark portfolio, emphasizing durability and value.

In some regions, particularly in Europe, parts of the Scott business were historically divested or operated under different licensing agreements following the merger between Scott Paper and Kimberly-Clark in 1995, but the primary global ownership remains under the American parent company.
