Stabilo Boss highlighter

Stabilo Boss is a globally recognized highlighter brand that pioneered the fluorescent marker market in 1971. The distinctive flat shape was designed to prevent the pen from rolling off desks, a signature feature that remains iconic today.

The brand has its roots in Weißenburg, Germany, where the majority of its production still takes place. Over the decades, the company has expanded its manufacturing capabilities to locations like Malaysia and the Czech Republic to serve international markets while maintaining strict German quality standards.

Stabilo is owned by the Schwan-STABILO Group, a long-standing family-owned German enterprise. Interestingly, the group also holds significant stakes in the cosmetics industry (as a private label manufacturer) and outdoor equipment (owning brands like Deuter and Ortovox), diversifying its expertise across multiple consumer sectors beyond stationery.
