Edding highlighter

The product shown is an Edding neon highlighter, a widely recognized stationery brand. Edding markers are iconic for their durability and quality, often used in both office and specialized industrial environments.

Edding was founded in 1960 in Hamburg, Germany, by Carl-Wilhelm Edding and Volker Detlef Ledermann. The brand became famous for its permanent markers and has since expanded into a vast array of writing and coloring instruments. Much of its production remains centered in Germany, adhering to high manufacturing standards.

For decades, Edding stayed under the control of its founding families. However, in early 2024, it was announced that the Japanese stationery giant PLUS Corporation acquired a majority stake in Edding AG. This strategic move aims to leverage combined distribution networks and innovation capabilities while maintaining the heritage of the German brand.
