1) Parker
Page Contents [show]
Since its founding in 1888, Parker has written its way into the homes, classrooms, and offices of millions of people. One of the first things that users attest to is the sheer confidence that using a Parker pen brings to their work or studies. The Parker Pen Company has been known to make different types of pens other than the prominent Parker 100 that came out in 2004.
Other company creations include Jotters (U.S. President John F. Kennedy’s favorite), Sonnet, Vector, Classic, Arrow, etc. Parker is a name synonymous with excellence and the brand stands strong to date, expanding into refills and inks as well as ballpoint pens
2) Mont Blanc
This diverse German company is known not just for its outstanding array of luxury pens but also jewelry, perfume, watches, sunglasses, and leather goods. Founded in 1906, with the six-pointed star logo coming out later in 1913, Mont Blanc – named after ‘White Mountain’, the highest in the Alps – has grown in awe and repute, much like the mountain it is named after. From their limited edition series like the Patron of the Art lineup to sundry special editions, Mont Blanc puts the ‘E’ in Exclusivity. Mont Blanc is the most premium pen in this list and hence is one of the top Pen Brands in the world.
3) Cross
The A. T. Cross Company is American-based and was founded in 1846. From desk accessories, wristwatches, leather goods (portfolios, pen cases), cufflinks, and journals to fine writing instruments (mechanical pencils, ballpoints, fountain pens), the brand has made large inroads into the lattermost category. Its success ranges far and wide, making it a million-dollar brand that has the privilege of being the official pen suppliers to the American White House since the 1970s.
It has become the tradition for Cross to serve Presidents – Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, Barack Obama, even the infamous Donald Trump – who have used Cross pens to sign major legislation and bills. It cannot get classier than that; except for Trump J. Working closely with IBM, Cross helped design and create the CrossPad, a digital writing surface, which was discontinued as of 2004.
4) Sheaffer
It is rather ironic that a pen brand can have its name misspelled even by fans of the brand, but those must be one of the minor mishaps of having a powerful and historical name. Founded in 1912, the Sheaffer Pen Corporation is actually American-based (not European as the name might suggest), and it has carried on the rich tradition of manufacturing some of the finest luxury pens on the market.
Their collection includes Brand-inclusive names like Legacy Heritage, Intensity, VFM, Prelude, and Taranis; to name a handful. Also dealing in tablet holders, leather pen pouches, and ink cartridges, the name Sheaffer denotes timeless elegance in a world that would sooner reach for the mundane.
5) Cello
The 1995-founded heart-grabber of the pen world is a brand-idea that originated in India and brought with it revolutionary new pen technology that promoted smoother writing for longer time-periods. Being one of the most widely distributed pen brands driving a lot of revenue, it is no doubt that Cello is featured prominently in this list.
