High-quality promotional pens

Quality and precision from the Black Forest

For over 125 years, the Klio-Eterna® brand has stood for first-class writing instruments ‘Made in Germany’ – characterised by tradition, innovation and the highest level of manufacturing expertise.

With its own injection moulding department, high-precision refill production, automated assembly lines and a wide range of printing processes, Klio-Eterna combines all production steps under one roof. This enables short distances, maximum control and unlimited design possibilities.

Behind every product are around 80 dedicated employees who, day after day, use their expertise, care and sense of responsibility to ensure that every writing instrument meets the highest standards.

Sustainable materials and custom colours for orders of 3,000 pieces or more make every ballpoint pen the perfect brand ambassador – ideally matched to your corporate identity.
