Whenever someone in Europe reaches for a domestically produced ball pen, that pen will probably be a senator. They have over 90 years' experience in the manufacture and branding of writing instruments. Their inventiveness and close partnership with their customers mean that the name senator is synonymous with the ballpen. True to the tradition established by their founder Friedrich Merz they develop new and novel ideas that the market loves. And love them it does: today every third ball pen manufactured in Germany is a senator. They are the European number 1 and number 3 worldwide.
