Penol is a classic Danish brand originally founded in Copenhagen in 1928 by Christian Olsen. The brand became famous for its high-quality writing instruments, particularly fountain pens and later markers and erasers. Over the decades, Penol solidified its position as a staple in Danish schools and offices.

Today, the Penol brand is owned by Bantex, a major player in the office supply industry, which is itself part of the Hamelin Group. While the brand has its historical roots in Denmark, modern production for smaller stationery items like erasers and markers is often distributed across global manufacturing sites in Europe and Asia to maintain competitive pricing and distribution efficiency. The Hamelin Group, a family-owned French company, manages the brand's international strategy.
