Pelikan is a company that enjoys a distinct advantage over others as their beginning was based on producing high quality ink. Chemist Carl Hornemann began producing and selling various colors of quality ink in 1838. He founded his business in Hanover, Germany and the business has remained in this city until the present day. Manufacturing ink gave Pelikan the opportunity to craft a perfect ink-feeding system when they also started designing iconic fountain pens. Utilizing this unique opportunity, the company unveiled its unique piston mechanism that allowed for streamlined ink flow. It was this technological innovation that propelled Pelikan pens to be some of the most successful writing implements of all time.

The Pelikan Souveran pen is the most adored model and is available in three core colors: green, blue & red. The revolutionary nature of the Pelikan filling system is created by incorporating two separate threads within the barrel of the pen. These threads work together to fill up the pen barrel fast and allow for a more even control over the ink. The Pelikan logo is one of the most recognizable designs for collectors throughout the world and their fountain pens are loved by writing enthusiasts everywhere.
