HISTORY
Tingstad Papper was established in 1959. As the name indicates it started trading with paper. The first 10 years Tingstad mainly sold packaging and wrappings to stores. In the early 70s the company expanded and started distribution of disposable products for restaurants, hotels and grocery stores. That segment has grown strongly and Tingstad now has leading position within this area. Today Tingstad has a turnover of approximately 1 billion and we are just over 190 employees.

For us that operate in an industry that uses the resources of nature the commitment to the environment is important, today, and in the future and it is an essential part of our development work. We encourage and prioritize the suppliers that work actively with these issues and that can supply us with environmentally friendly products.
