Tisha Hygiene: Family-Made Washroom Supplies for the UK

Tisha Hygiene is a London-founded B2B washroom supplier that does something most competitors don't: manufactures its own products. Founded in 2019 by Olga Skyba, the company supplies paper products, dispensers, and hygiene equipment to hotels, offices, salons, clinics, restaurants, and facilities management companies across the United Kingdom — direct from its own factory in Ukraine, which has been operating continuously for over 20 years.

That last detail tends to be the one procurement teams remember.

The Problem Most Businesses Don't Talk About

Washroom supplies sit low on the priority list — until they don't. Dispensers that jam mid-shift. Paper that disintegrates on contact. Stock that arrives inconsistent in quality because it changed hands three times between factory and your premises.

These aren't edge cases. They're the predictable outcome of buying commodity hygiene products through a chain of intermediaries, each one adding a margin and removing a layer of accountability. A 40-room hotel reordering dispensers every eight months. An office manager fielding complaints about hand towels that fall apart. These are real patterns — and they trace back to one source: no one in the chain actually made the product.

For hotels with 30-plus rooms, offices with 80-plus staff, or clinics where hygiene standards are regulatory — not aspirational — this is a recurring operational problem dressed up as a minor inconvenience.

Tisha Hygiene was built to solve it at the root.

The Tisha Model: No Middlemen, No Guesswork

The model is straightforward: Tisha Hygiene manufactures its own products and ships them direct to your premises. No wholesaler. No regional distributor. No third party absorbing margin and diluting quality control.

What this means in practice: when you order from Tisha, you're dealing with the people who made the product. If there's a specification question, a formulation concern, or a volume requirement outside a standard catalogue, the answer doesn't travel through three departments before reaching someone with authority to give it.

For procurement teams, this is a structural advantage — not a minor convenience. Consistent quality. Competitive pricing that reflects direct manufacture rather than reseller markups. And a supplier with actual skin in the game, because their name is on the factory as well as the invoice.

Two Generations, One Standard

The story behind Tisha Hygiene isn't a startup origin story. It's a second-generation expansion of something that was already working.

Igor Skyba founded ATMA in Kyiv in the early 2000s. In 2006, ATMA launched its Tischa Papier manufacturing line, developing proprietary production technologies that would eventually underpin everything Tisha Hygiene brings to the UK market.

In 2019, Igor's daughter Olga Skyba founded Tisha Hygiene in London — not to replicate a family business, but to bring a proven manufacturing standard to a market that was, frankly, underserved by it.

"Every great business starts with a promise. Ours was simple: do it properly, or don't do it at all."

— Olga Skyba, Founder & CEO, Tisha Hygiene

When you've been manufacturing hygiene products for over 20 years, "do it properly" has a specific meaning: raw material sourcing decisions, process engineering, quality control checkpoints, and a refusal to cut any of them when margins get uncomfortable.

What's Actually in the Paper

Tisha Hygiene's paper products are manufactured from 100% cellulose — sourced from certified suppliers in Italy and Indonesia. No recycled filler. No blended pulp of ambiguous provenance. This is a deliberate sourcing choice, and it shows in the product: consistent softness, reliable absorbency, no variation batch to batch.

Four Proprietary Technologies

The ATMA factory operates four proprietary manufacturing technologies, each developed and refined over two decades of production:

• Air Pocket — improves softness without sacrificing sheet integrity, so paper feels premium without tearing during use
• Steel to Steel — precision embossing that produces consistent texture and thickness across the full roll, eliminating the thin spots that cause mid-use failures
• Steel to Rubber — a gentler embossing variant for products where softness is the primary specification, ideal for facial tissues and guest-facing hand towels
• Ultra Air Pocket — the most popular process, delivering enhanced bulk and absorption so each sheet does more, reducing consumption and cost per visit

Who Tisha Hygiene Is Built For

Tisha Hygiene works with UK businesses that have a genuine, recurring washroom supply need:

• Hotels (30+ rooms) — where guest experience depends on consistent product quality
• Offices (80+ employees) — where volume and reliability are the only metrics that matter
• Salons and clinics — where hygiene standards are professional obligations
• Restaurants and hospitality venues — where supply failure is visible to customers immediately
• Cleaning companies and facilities management — who need a supplier whose quality they can stake their own reputation on

For teams specifying or refitting washroom equipment, Tisha also holds exclusive UK distribution for Mar Plast, Mediclinics, and TTS — three well-regarded names in professional washroom hardware. Full details on our B2B procurement page.

Why Family Ownership Matters Here

"Family-run" is often shorthand for small and unreliable at scale. That's not the version on offer here.

What family ownership actually means at Tisha: the people making decisions about product quality and supply terms are the same people whose professional identity depends on the outcome. Olga Skyba built Tisha Hygiene on a manufacturing foundation her father spent two decades constructing. That's not a marketing narrative — it's a very concrete reason why the quality standard isn't negotiable.

In practice, it's the difference between a supplier who absorbs a quality problem and one who externalises it back to you.

Ready to Fix Your Washroom Supply?

If your current supplier is a reseller — and most are — you're paying a margin for something you could own more directly: a consistent product, shipped from the people who made it, at a price that reflects manufacture rather than distribution.
