About Company
At Irving Consumer Products, we know the key to success is our people.
We are a leading manufacturer of premium quality tissue products – including national brands Royale® in Canada and Scotties® in the US - and private label. We also produce baby diapers under our Royale® brand as well as private label diapers and training pants for North American retailers.
We pride ourselves in our commitment to providing the best quality products and exceptional service to our consumers and customers.
Our parent company - J.D. Irving, Limited, is a responsible steward of the forests. Each year, its forest operations harvest less than 2 percent of the forest it manages, ensuring that the company grows more wood than it harvests. J.D. Irving has planted more than 1 billion trees since 1957, and the J.D. Irving Forest Supply Chain has been declared carbon neutral.
