Founded in 1970, we are the UK operation of Pentel co. Ltd., a privately owned, Japanese company, which has been producing some of the world’s favourite writing instruments for over half a century. We’re proud that Pentel has been responsible for the development of ideas behind two-thirds of the writing instruments in use around the world today. From the first acrylic fibred tipped pen, to no less than 26 shades of pigment gel ink, our goal is to create products that make all forms of written and artistic communication not only effective, but inspiring.
