Scott Paper Company
The Scott Paper Company is a USA-based corporation which manufactures primarily paper based consumer products. When it was an independent company, its headquarters were in International Plaza (Scott Plaza) in Tinicum Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, in Greater Philadelphia.
Scott Paper was founded in 1879 in Philadelphia by brothers E. Irvin and Clarence Scott, and is often credited as being the first to market toilet paper sold on a roll. They began marketing paper towels, which were more like toilet paper, in 1907, and paper napkins in the 1930s.
In 1995 Scott Paper merged with Kimberly-Clark which continues to use the Scott brandname. Scott Paper Limited, formerly a Canadian subsidiary, is no longer affiliated.
Following the merger with Kimberly-Clark, the Baby Fresh brand was sold to Procter & Gamble and is now sold under the Pampers brand, as well as Scotties, which was sold to Irving Tissue. Other divested brands include Cut-Rite (sold to Reynolds Metals in 1986, now part of Alcoa).
