The History of the Toilet Paper Holder Seth Wheeler (the perfect last name!) patented his design in 1871, roughly 14 years following the invention of modern toilet paper. The simple yet effective design has remained largely unchanged.
In the United States today, the toilet paper industry is dominated by three manufacturers: Georgia-Pacific, Procter & Gamble and Kimberly Clark, with the latter generating approximately 2.14 billion U.S. dollars worth of sales in 2016. These three manufacturers made up almost 80 percent of the U.S. toilet paper market.
