Edding 1200 felt-tip pen

The Edding 1200 is a classic fiber-tip pen widely used for writing, sketching, and layout work. Edding was founded in 1960 in Hamburg, Germany, and has grown into a global leader in marking and writing instruments. While the brand is famous for its permanent markers, the 1200 series is a staple in the stationery sector for its consistent ink flow and durability.

Historically a family-run business, Edding has maintained its headquarters in Ahrensburg, Germany. As of 2024, the company became part of the SC Johnson group, a move aimed at expanding its global distribution and leveraging SC Johnson's extensive consumer goods network. Production for high-quality items like the 1200 pen remains primarily centered in Germany to ensure manufacturing standards.
