Maped Fluopeps Classic highlighter

Maped, which stands for Manufacture d'Articles de Précision Et de Dessin, is a prestigious French family-owned company established in 1947. Originally founded in Annecy, France, the brand initially gained recognition for its brass compasses. Over the decades, it evolved into a global leader in school and office stationery, known for ergonomic designs and vibrant products like the Fluopeps highlighter line shown here.

While the brand's heart and design headquarters remain in France, Maped has expanded its industrial presence significantly. The company operates its own manufacturing facilities in various strategic locations including China, Mexico, and Argentina, ensuring a global supply chain for its products. The Maped Group remains an independent entity, steered by the Lacroix family, maintaining its legacy as a French innovator in the stationery industry.
