Pelikan Marcatextos 414 highlighter

Pelikan is a historic brand originally established in Hanover, Germany, by Carl Hornemann in 1838. It became famous for its high-quality writing instruments and inks. Over the decades, it expanded globally, with a strong presence in European and Latin American markets.

While the brand holds deep German roots, the manufacturing of its standard stationery items like the Marcatextos 414 highlighter takes place in multiple locations worldwide, specifically across factories in Colombia, Mexico, and Germany to serve regional markets. Historically, the brand was owned by the Pelikan Group GmbH; however, in late 2023, the French stationery giant Hamelin acquired the Pelikan Group, integrating it into its portfolio to strengthen its position in the global writing instruments market. Hamelin is headquartered in Normandy, France.
