Metsä Group employs some 14,000 people worldwide and 3,000 throughout Europe and Metsä Cooperative is owned by 130,000 Finnish forest owners.
As the manufacturer of Katrin products, Metsä Tissue is a leading supplier of tissue paper products to professional users in Europe. It has nine production units located in Finland, Germany, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden and in value terms is the fourth largest supplier of tissue paper products in Europe.

Katrin’s concept for saving resources is called ‘Less is More’. It minimises paper consumption and hygiene risks thanks to high absorption capacity, the right sheet size and touch free products. Reduced paper consumption saves work, money and the environment and lower hygiene risks lead to better health.
‘Less is More’ is based on an idea as creative as it is obvious – products that do their job in the right way give maximum performance.
