Pentel Co., Ltd. (ぺんてる株式会社, Penteru Kabushiki Gaisha) is a privately-held Japanese manufacturing company of stationery products. The name comes from one of their first widely known products and is a portmanteau of the English words pen and pastel.[5][6] Pentel is also the inventor of non-permanent marker technology. Most Pentel products are manufactured in Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Mexico, and France.
The company is regarded as the inventor of the fibre-tipped (felt-tip) pen in 1963.[7] Nowadays, Pentel produces a wide range of products that include writing implements, art materials and office goods.
