Some early history of the Scandinavian
tampon
and menstrual pad company SCA Mølnlycke
Above: the first A/S Saba
(the company's predecessor)
factory, built right after World
War II, in 1945/46. The company,
which makes pads and tampons for
Norway, started with five
employees near Tønsberg, a town
about 30 miles south of Oslo.
Why talk
about this company? Because it
sponsored an exhibit
celebrating its 50th anniversary and
menstruation in the town museum
of Vestfold. This is unusual,
folks! (Here's the company's Web
site -
in Norwegian, of course.)
I thank
Marethe Slensvik of the SCA
Mølnlycke company in Norway for
this picture and information
from the company history
A.S. SABA
1945-1985: 40 år i vekst og
trivsel, which she lent
me, and for much material and
information about the company's
menstruation
exhibit
in Norway! Translations are
mine.
