Pentel EnerGel 0.7mm Liquid Gel Pen

The Pentel EnerGel is a popular line of liquid gel pens known for their smooth writing and quick-drying ink, which makes them a favorite among both right-handed and left-handed users. The brand was originally established in 1946 as Japan Stationery Limited in Tokyo, Japan, and has since become a global leader in the stationery industry. Pentel is credited with several innovations, including the invention of the fiber-tipped pen in 1963.

While Pentel's high-end EnerGel components and ink are primarily manufactured in Japan to maintain strict quality standards, the brand operates several manufacturing facilities worldwide. Assembly and production can also occur in locations such as Mexico, Taiwan, France, and India, depending on the specific model and target market. Pentel Co., Ltd. remains a private entity, with Plus Corporation (another major Japanese stationery firm) holding a significant stake in the company following a high-profile ownership struggle in 2019.
