Pentel

Pentel has been responsible for developing two thirds of the writing instruments used around the world today. From developing the first acrylic fibre pen, their goal is to continue innovating products that make written communication and creativity effective and inspiring worldwide.

Producing some of the world’s favourite writing instruments for over half a century. Pentel began in 1946 in Tokyo, by Yukio Horie, originally as Japan Stationery Co., Ltd. Originally, they began by making crayons and pastels for artists and developed into producing innovative writing instruments later on. The name Pentel is a blend of “pen” and “tell,” reflecting their belief in the importance of communicating big ideas and helping people to express themselves.

Pentel is credited with creating the world’s first fibre tipped pen and non-permanent marker technology, which was nothing short of revolutionary for the writing industry. Their EnerGel line, launched in the 2000s, was latex-free and could be erased cleanly without damaging the paper. Today, Pentel products are manufactured in Japan, Taiwan, Brazil, Mexico and France and sold throughout the world. Pentel’s legacy is built on creativity, quality and innovation, and their products are loved by students, artists, professionals and artists alike. Pentel’s opal has always been to inspire and facilitate all forms of written and artistic communication.
