In 1906 a stationer, banker, and engineer set out to create a writing instrument that exceeded the quality and design of the current pens of the time. The resulting empire was something that Claus-Johannes Voss, Alfred Nehemias, and August Eberstein could not even have imagined.
By 1908 they had established themselves as SIMPLO FILLER PEN COMPANY specializing in fountain pens with simple built in inkwells. In 1909 they trademarked and begin producing under the name Montblanc. In 1913 a star was born when the round star logo was introduced and the company identity began to truly take shape. The star representing the snow covered peak of the highest European mountain, Mount Blanc, symbolized their commitment to the highest quality and finest craftsmanship. Something to this day that is still evident in every product bearing the label.
Today Montblanc can be found in 70 countries and 360 Mountblanc stores worldwide, making it a true international symbol of excellence.
