Mitsubishi Pencil Co., Ltd.
三菱鉛筆株式会社
Founded in 1887 as a Japanese pencil manufacturer, Mitsubishi Pencil has evolved into a comprehensive writing-instrument company. It makes far more than pencils: products such as JETSTREAM smooth-writing ballpoint pens, KURU TOGA mechanical pencils with a rotating lead mechanism, premium uni pencils, POSCA markers, and uni-ball pens are popular in Japan and worldwide. The company has a world-leading share in water-based ballpoint pens. Its corporate philosophy is “Difference is Beautiful,” and it aims to become the world’s leading company in innovation for self-expression by 2036, its 150th anniversary. Note: it is an independent company with no connection to the Mitsubishi zaibatsu or Mitsubishi Group.
