Kimberly-Clark, owner of the rival Kleenex brand, acquired Scott Paper in 1997. For competitive reasons,[1] it was required to resell the Scotties business in the U.S. and sold it to Irving Tissue while maintaining control of the trademark on the Scotties brand. Kruger Inc. separately acquired Scott's Canadian subsidiary, now known as Kruger Products, which sells Scotties tissues there.

The brand is well known in Canada for its sponsorship of the women's curling championship Scotties Tournament of Hearts, often simply called the Scotties.
