Stationery Business
-
We manufacture and sell stationery and office supplies including, drawing and painting materials, erasers, marking pens, ballpoint pens, mechanical pencils, and refill leads.
Based on the conviction that “we develop original things and create new demand and markets,” we have launched pioneering and revolutionary writing instruments including the world’s first-ever “synthetic resin mechanical pencil leads,” the Pentel Sign Pen, which became a global hit after being used by the President of the United States of America, and the “Pentel Brush” pen made with artificial hair.
Inheriting the sense of adventure and creative spirit that have been our inspiration since the company’s founding, we will continue to supply products that are loved by our customers.

Electronic Equipment Department
Having developed “analog input tools” such as crayons and ballpoint pens, we are also developing and manufacturing “digital input tools” based on control technology we have nurtured in the production equipment arm of our stationery business.
Leveraging our core technology of electrostatic capacitance coupling, we have developed liquid crystal pen tablets for writing and drawing characters and pictures on liquid crystal screens. In particular, our pen tablets used in photo sticker machines have maintained a high share for many years.
Also, our stable operation electrostatic switches are widely used in electronic appliances, operating panels and the like. We will continue to develop accessible and easy to use inputting devices that facilitate users’ dreams. -
Machinery Department
Based on the policy of “making the company’s products with the company’s own equipment,” we were the first stationery manufacturer to automate its production lines, thereby realizing a major improvement in productivity.
We launched our machine business by leveraging our extensive track record in not only designing and developing products but also production equipment.
Currently, we not only manufacture in-company equipment for manufacturing stationery, but we also provide a wide range of industrial production equipment for other companies.
Concerning our automatic assembly machines for assembling and inspecting components, automated insert injection systems equipped with our proprietary industrial robots, image inspection systems and other products, we have earned high praise and trust from customers for functionality and ease of use.
So far, we have developed and manufactured approximately 2,000 production systems for use in a wide range of industries such as automobile parts and medical field. -
