Andrex is a British brand of toilet roll. It is owned by the American company Kimberly-Clark.[2] The "Andrex Puppy", a Labrador Retriever puppy that appears on the company's television advertisements, is synonymous with the brand.
The brand Andrex is also used by Kimberly-Clark in the Hong Kong market, with products from their Taiwanese factories (though wet wipes are imported from South Korea),[3][4] along with the brands Scott, Kleenex and Scotties.
Its sister brand in the U.S. and Australia is Kleenex Cottonelle. In Austria it is called "Hakle," and in Germany simply Cottonelle.[5] In The Netherlands, Andrex is known as Page.[6] In Belgium, Italy, Spain and Portugal it is branded as Scottex.[7] In South Africa, it is branded as Baby Soft.[8]
In Australia, the puppy is known as the "Kleenex Puppy" and Kleenex is a partner and supporter of Guide Dogs Australia.
