SCA Hygiene Minisite
Home > About SCA Hygiene Australasia

You may not have heard of SCA before, however you will certainly know of our market leading hygiene brands – Sorbent, Libra, TENA, Handee Ultra, Tuff Mate, Deeko and Purex.

Locally, we manufacture these household names in operations across Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, employing around 1700 people.

Our motto is simple: work hard, have fun. That’s how we continue to hold the number one market position in many of the categories in which we compete.


We operate through three business areas:

1. Consumer
Consumer is the retail-focussed arm of our Company. Through our familiar brands Sorbent, Libra, TENA, Handee Ultra, Tuff Mate, Deeko and Purex we offer toilet paper, feminine hygiene products, incontinence products, paper towel, serviettes and tableware.

2. Healthcare
Our Healthcare business focuses on providing TENA incontinence products, systems and support into nursing homes, hospitals and consumers across the country.

TENA is the world's most used brand for people with bladder problems – a position established through years of research and development, and a quest for excellence in our products and services. Our ambition is to let people live a normal, active life despite their bladder weakness. In other words: we improve quality of life!

3. Away-From-Home
Our Away-From-Home (AFH) business manufactures and markets a broad range of commercial washroom and tableware hygiene solutions and consumables under the Tork and Deeko brands and an extensive range of sheeted paper products for the food industry under the Caxton brand.

Away from Home products include hand towels, facial and toilet tissues, dispensers, disposable wiping cloths, hand cleansers, odour control systems, healthcare products, serviettes, traymats, paper plates, plastic drinkware, plastic cutlery, greaseproof paper and wrapping tissue.
