Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget (SCA) is a Swedish pulp and paper manufacturer and consumer goods company. It has approximately 50,000 employees and a turnover of approximately 100 billion SEK (10 billion euro).

In 1975 SCA acquired Mölnlycke AB, a leading western European producer of disposable hygiene products, and in 1990 SCA acquired transport packaging company Reedpack. In 1995 the Germany-based paper and packaging company PWA was acquired. In 2001 the US company Georgia-Pacific Tissue was acquired.
