The STABILO BOSS Original is an iconic office tool first introduced in 1971. It was the world's first felt-tip highlighter and remains a market leader due to its distinctive flat, square shape and high-quality ink.

The brand is fundamentally German. It was founded in Nuremberg in the mid-19th century and has maintained its primary manufacturing hub in Weißenburg, Bavaria. This commitment to local production ensures consistent quality standards that have made the brand a staple for students and professionals worldwide.

Today, Stabilo is part of the Schwan-STABILO Group, a family-owned multinational. The group is unique because it operates globally in three distinct sectors: writing instruments, cosmetics (as an OEM for other brands), and outdoor equipment (owning brands like Deuter). The company remains headquartered in Heroldsberg, Germany, and continues to be managed by the Schwanhäußer family descendants.
