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.
From our offices just outside Swindon, Wiltshire, we distribute a wide range of pens, pencils, correction products, markers and art materials to customers throughout the United Kingdom and some within the European Community.
Our mission is to develop pens that offer you a more satisfying writing experience, correction products that give you better value for money and art materials that allow you to release your true creative side!
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 fibre 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.
Pictured are a few of the products that have revolutionised everyday writing.
