Kleenex is a brand name of facial tissue and a registered trademark of the Kimberly-Clark Corporation. Because of the success of this brand, it has become a genericized trademark in American English and many people in North America today refer to any tissue as a "kleenex".
Kimberly-Clark created the first facial tissue in 1924, and later introduced paper towels, and paper napkins. These facial tissues were originally marketed as a cleaning tissue for such usages as removing cold cream. Later they were marketed as a disposable paper tissue. In the 1930s, the Kimberly-Clark Corporation received a large number of letters from customers suggesting its use for colds and hay fever. Kleenex were first advertised for use as a handkerchief replacement in 1926; this was to become the product's dominant use. Early advertising recommended using disposable Kleenex instead of a cotton handkerchief with the slogan "Don't Carry A Cold In Your Pocket".
Kleenex is now manufactured in 19 countries, and sold in 150 countries.

1924 by Kimberly-Clark -- but I think a more interesting question would be: "Is the plural Kleenices, as the plural of index is indices?"
