About Us

We didn't start out as a toilet paper company. Learn more about our story.

A Long History of Firsts

We were the first to put toilet paper on a roll – and the first to take it off. But then again, our entire history is loaded with firsts. Give the roll a whirl and take a spin through Scott’s storied past.
