{{Short description|Norwegian manufacturing company}} '''Paus & Paus AS''' was a former industrial company in [[Norway]], active in the [[pulp and paper]] industry, [[chemical industry]] and [[pharmaceutical industry]].<ref>''Næringslivets menn i Norden'', Eckardts bokhandel, 1950</ref> It existed from 1906 to 2001 when it was acquired by [[Pemco (Norway)|Pemco]]. A number of former subsidiary companies still exist. For many years, it was one of the larger pulp and paper companies in eastern Norway.
The company was founded by Alf [[Paus]] (1869–1945) and Georg F. Helmer and initially named ''Helmer & Paus'' in 1906. Three years later, Helmer left the company, and Alf Paus' brother, Nicolay ([[Nissen (noble family)|Nissen]]) [[Paus]], became the new partner, leading to the renaming of the company as ''Paus & Paus''. In 1914, its headquarters relocated to Christiania, and it became a limited company in 1918. In 1920, Alf and Nicolay Paus acquired nearly all the shares of the factory [[Den Norske Papirfiltfabrik]] in Drammen, which subsequently became a subsidiary of Paus & Paus.<ref>''Norsk skogindustri'', vol. 34–35 p. 252</ref>
