Stabilo Boss highlighter

The STABILO BOSS is an iconic office supply product that revolutionized how we mark and study text. It was first introduced in 1971 by the German company Schwan-STABILO. Legend has it that its distinctive flat, wedge-like shape was created by accident when a designer, frustrated with a round prototype, flattened a clay model with their hand—a shape that management unexpectedly loved.

Today, the brand remains a global leader in the writing instrument industry. While the group has manufacturing facilities in the Czech Republic and Malaysia for other products like pencils and ballpoint pens, the classic STABILO BOSS highlighters are primarily manufactured in Weißenburg, Germany. The company has remained a family-owned enterprise for over six generations, maintaining a strong focus on innovation and sustainability, including refillable designs and recycled materials.
