Frequently Asked Questions

When was the Twinsaver Group established?

Ethos Private Equity Group acquired Nampak’s Tissue division in April 2015, rebranding the business as the TwinCare Group. Ethos recognised the opportunity to reinvigorate and grow the company through a combination of new leadership and a new strategic direction: the shift from a packaging, manufacturing-led company to a consumer-led, FMCG brand powerhouse. The TwinCare Group then became the Twinsaver Group in July 2015.

Why was the name changed from TwinCare Group to Twinsaver Group?

The TwinCare Group announced in July 2015 that going forward, it would be trading as the Twinsaver Group. This decision was taken in order to eliminate confusion between the organisation and other companies with the same or similar names in the marketplace.

Twinsaver, already a recognised brand within the company’s portfolio, was the ideal name for the Group to transition to.  Not only does it carry a heritage of quality and consumer trust, but the strategic decision to trade as Twinsaver is core to the business continuing to add value to the market, its consumers, employees, and shareholders.
