The WEPA Group was founded in 1948 as “Westfälische Papierfabrik” in Arnsberg, Germany; first as a trading company, later as a processing plant. Since 1958, WEPA has had a successful track record in the production of hygienic paper.
With the step into becoming a paper producer came the start of WEPA’s rise in becoming one of the three leading European hygiene paper manufacturers. As a result of expansion and investment, all WEPA locations have state-of-the-art manufacturing technology to produce modern hygiene paper for a variety of consumer needs.
Part of the global family-owned WEPA Group, WEPA UK manufactures high-quality household paper products for the UK and Ireland.
