Pelikan is a legendary brand in the world of writing instruments and stationery, with roots dating back to 1838 when chemist Carl Hornemann founded an ink factory in Hanover, Germany. The 4001 ink series is one of their most iconic products, celebrated globally by calligraphy enthusiasts and fountain pen users for its reliability and vibrant 'Königsblau' (Royal Blue) color.

Pelikan's high-quality inks are primarily manufactured in Germany, maintaining the brand's long-standing tradition of European craftsmanship. While the brand has deep German heritage, its ownership has evolved; in 2023, the Pelikan Group was acquired by the French company Hamelin SAS, a major European leader in the stationery industry. This transition ensures that the historic Pelikan legacy continues under the umbrella of a global stationery powerhouse based in France.
