Tork

A dispenser in the washroom usually only gets noticed when it's empty or jammed. For more than 50 years Tork has worked to make that happen as rarely as possible. The Essity hygiene brand develops paper, soap and dispensers for washrooms, kitchens and businesses, and its motto is “Think ahead with Tork”.

Every year Tork puts more than six million dispensers on the wall, in 110 countries. Many of them are certified as easy to use, which Tork calls hygiene for all. In Switzerland the brand is based at Essity in Schenkon on Lake Sempach.

In healthcare, Tork focuses on hand hygiene, in the brand's view the best way to fight hospital infections, and offers interactive hygiene training for it.

One of Tork's three sustainability areas is called “less is more”, another one circularity. Tork PaperCircle belongs here. Used paper hand towels are collected separately and turned into new tissue paper at an Essity mill, according to the company more than 35 million towels a month.

With almost 60 items, Tork is one of the biggest brands in our shop. In the washroom there are Multifold, zigzag and interfold hand towels, PeakServe continuous towels, toilet paper, soap and the matching dispensers, many from the Elevation design line. In the kitchen and for cleaning there are wiper rolls, Top-Pak cloths and napkins, and at the bedside the Tork Advanced washcloth.
