Pilot FriXion Clicker 07 pen

The Pilot FriXion Clicker 07 is a revolutionary writing instrument known for its patented thermo-sensitive gel ink, which becomes invisible through friction. The brand is owned by the Pilot Corporation, a historic Japanese company founded in 1918 by Ryosuke Namiki and Masao Wada. Originally known as the Namiki Manufacturing Company, it has grown to become Japan's largest pen manufacturer and a global leader in the stationery industry.

While the Pilot Corporation is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, its manufacturing operations are international. Most high-end and innovative products like the FriXion series are primarily manufactured in Japan. However, the company also maintains significant production facilities in France and the United States to serve regional markets. In Northern Europe, the brand is managed and distributed by its local subsidiary, Pilot Nordic AB, which is based in Sweden.
