Edding 345 Highlighter

The edding 345 highlighter is a staple in the stationery world, known for its luminous water-based neon ink and chisel nib design. It was developed to provide high-quality highlighting on almost all types of paper, including fax and copy paper, without bleeding through.

Originally founded in Hamburg in 1960 by school friends Carl-Wilhelm Edding and Volker Detlef Ledermann, the brand quickly became a global leader in markers and writing instruments. Today, the edding 345 is primarily manufactured in Germany, specifically at the company's ultra-modern production facility in Bautzen, which produces millions of markers annually for international distribution.

The brand remains under the umbrella of edding AG, which continues to operate as an owner-managed family enterprise. Headquartered in Ahrensburg, Germany, the company oversees a global portfolio that includes the edding, Legamaster, and Playroom brands, maintaining a strong commitment to quality and sustainable innovation.
