Fine Writing Newsletter 03/2018

The year 2018 is a very special year for Pelikan. 180 years ago our company was founded. The Pelikan anniversary year is guided by a unique guiding idea: Passion worldwide!

We owe this guiding idea not only to our founder Carl Hornemann who laid the foundation, but also to his successors Günther Wagner and Fritz Beindorff. They established our company in the international markets with a lot of courage and inventive talent. This is a big success which we pursue with a lot of responsibility. For Pelikan, passion is an attitude!
