Since time immemorial, pens have been part and parcel of people's lifestyles. From the ancient feather ones that were used centuries ago to the modern classic and trendy types that are common today, they have faced a lot of transition to reach where they are today. They use ink of varying shades of black, blue, red and green. The word pen is derived from a Latin word, 'Penna', which means feather. In the market today, you will find pens that they are referred to using different names like felt, fountain, ballpoints, quills, reed and many more.
The Mont Blanc pens have their origin in Germany. The company that manufactures them is called Montblanc International GMBH, which is famous for its 'White Star' logo symbol. The logo is the white six-pointed star with round edges. It was founded by Claus Johannes Voss, Alfred Nehemias and August Eberstein in 1906. The initial name was Simplo Filler Pen and the Mont Blancs pens were the second model that they produced.
Today the company is known as Mont Blanc company and is part of of the Richemont group that sells a range of luxury products. Other writing tools that are a product of this company are Scenium, the Starwalker and the Boheme. However, today the Mont Blanc ones are highly critiqued because those who use them feel that the quality has gone down, while the prices are still high.
The company is accused of not giving a long term warranty as compared to its competitors. For this reason the company is slowly losing grip of the market, but its never too late to change.
