Pelikan stationery and writing instruments

Pelikan is a prestigious brand with a heritage dating back to 1838, when chemist Carl Hornemann founded a color and ink factory in Hanover, Germany. Renowned for its high-quality fountain pens and innovation in ink technology, the brand became a global symbol for fine writing and educational supplies. Throughout its history, Pelikan expanded its portfolio to include everything from watercolors to high-end luxury pens.

In recent decades, the brand's ownership transitioned as it became part of a global conglomerate. Since 2024, Pelikan has been integrated into the Hamelin Group, a major European player in the stationery market. While the brand maintains deep roots in German craftsmanship, its manufacturing operations are distributed across several countries to serve international markets, ensuring its presence remains strong in both the school and professional sectors.
