Oxford Activebook notebook

The Oxford Activebook is a high-quality spiral notebook designed for professional and student use. The Oxford brand itself has a long history dating back to 1916 when the French company Papeteries Laroche-Joubert introduced high-quality paper under the 'Oxford' name. Since 1982, the brand has been part of the Hamelin Group, a family-owned French company that is a European leader in the stationery market.

Manufacturing for Oxford products occurs primarily in Europe to maintain quality control, with a significant portion of production taking place in France and Germany. The brand is well-known for its 'Optik Paper', which prevents ink from bleeding through and is compatible with the Scribzee digital app. As of 2026, the ultimate owner remains the Hamelin Group (Groupe Hamelin), headquartered in Normandy, France.
