BIC Ecolutions Mechanical Pencil

BIC is one of the most recognized stationery brands in the world, founded in France by Marcel Bich in 1944. The Ecolutions line specifically focuses on sustainability, often using recycled materials to produce everyday writing instruments.

While BIC has expanded its manufacturing footprint globally to remain competitive, a significant portion of its mechanical pencil production remains in France, particularly for European markets. The brand is managed by the Société Bic, which is still headquartered in Clichy, France. The Bich family continues to maintain a controlling interest in the company, ensuring its French heritage remains central to its identity through the 2020s and beyond.
