Essity Germany (formerly SCA Hygiene Products ) with its operational headquarters in Munich is a subsidiary of the Swedish tissue manufacturer Essity . The company's products include toilet paper , kitchen towels, handkerchiefs , facial tissue, napkins , incontinence products, feminine hygiene products and baby diapers .
The business areas were divided into the "Tissue" area, which includes the brands Zewa, Tempo , Velvet, Tork and Edet, and the "Personal Care" area, which includes the Tena, Libresse and Libero brands. However, in the course of the takeover of Tempo in 2007, SCA Hygiene Products had to sell its own handkerchief brand "Softis" according to the European Commission. The buyer was the Italian tissue company Sofidel (whose brand of handkerchief is “Regina”). However, SCA retained a license to distribute “Softis” in countries outside of Germany and Austria.
Essity Germany is owned by Essity , based in Stockholm , which emerged on June 15, 2017 as a spin-off from the former parent company Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget (SCA).
history
The Aschaffenburg pulp works were founded in 1874. In 1884 the brothers Carl and Rudolf Haas founded the Waldhof pulp factory in Mannheim together with Carl Clemm . Both companies merged in 1970 to form the Waldhof-Aschaffenburg paper mills .
In 1995 the majority of the company was taken over by the Swedish timber group SCA and then renamed SCA Hygiene Products AG. The shares of SCA Hygiene Products AG were listed in official trading on the Frankfurt and Munich stock exchanges, and later on the regulated market . In 2009 the legal form changed to Societas Europaea ; From then on, SCA traded as SCA Hygiene Products SE . In 2010, the SCA Group generated sales of € 3.9 billion and employed around 10,000 people. According to the "Top 100 in Germany" list published annually by the Süddeutsche Zeitung , the company was one of the 100 companies with the highest turnover in Germany .
The listing ended in June 2013 due to a squeeze-out of the free shareholders. Half a year later the company changed its name to SCA GmbH .
In the fourth quarter of 2017, the company was renamed as part of the Essity Group.
