Early life
Their Katrin AfH brand was one of the first away-from-home tissue brands in Europe, having been introduced in 1974. The word “Katrin” originates from the Metsä Tissue Katrinefors mill, which was founded in 1765. The mill was named after the founder’s wife and is the origin of the brand and products that we know today.
