WELCOME TO OF SCANDINAVIA
The Penol brand was established in 1928. In the late twenties the founder, Christian Olsen, had problems with importing sufficient numbers of Parker pens, which, at the time, he was distributing throughout Scandinavia. The solution to the problem was to introduce his own brand, Penol. There are several background stories behind the brand name Penol, but two versions stand out. One is that Christian Olsen was nicknamed "pen Olsen" by his friends, and the brand Penol wasn't to far away from that. The other version states that the cable address was Parker Pen Olsen abbreviated to Parker Penol, thus Penol. 2 DK-2900 Hellerup
During the second world war, and in the following years, Parker pens where manufactured under license at the factory placed at Emdrupvej in Copenhagen. During these years certain models of the Parker pens where enhanced, and it didn't take long before a full line of Penol pens where manufactured at the same factory. Among the well known Penol pens are products such as the Penol President, Penol Ambassador, Penol Senior, and the less expensive products Penol Q-pen and Penol School pen. 3
4 Until the mid-sixties Penol was the leading brand of fountain pens in Denmark.
In the mid 60's the factory at Emdrupvej in Denmark was closed down, and the Penol brand was focused on the Penol 700 and Penol 300 marking pen series. These products are still among the best selling Penol products today. At the end of the 60's a kid's colouring product line was created, best known are the Penol 300 fibre tip pens. These products, together with the Penol marking pens, are the core of the Penol brand today. The entire production of Penol products is now outsourced to leading manufacturers of writing instruments. The manufacturers are placed all over the world, primarily in South East Asia and Europe. 5

The Penol brand was owned by the Olsen family until 2012, when Thomas Olsen, 4th generation, agreed to sell 100 % of the shares in Penol to a company controlled by Kristian Engsig. Mr. Engsig used to work for the company Chr. Olsen before founding his own in 1992 and so he was no stranger to either the family or the business. Foto af KE FOTO: SUSTE BONNÉN DK-2900 Hellerup 7
and the Swanmark What is the Nordic Swan Ecolabel? The Nordic Swan Ecolabel or the Swanmark, as it is commonly called, is a voluntary ecolabelling scheme that evaluates a product's impact on the environment throughout the whole life cycle. By buying Nordic Swan Ecolabelled products and services, you as a consumer can contribute to a more sustainable environment, and be among the millions of people in the Nordic market who daily make more climate-friendly choices. Products carrying the Nordic Swan Ecolabel meet extremely high environmental and often climate requirements. A life-cycle perspective of the product is analysed, i.e., the product's impact on the environment from raw material/source to waste. Criteria is also set with regard to quality, health aspects and performance/functionality. The Nordic Swan Ecolabel was established in 1989 by the Nordic Council of Ministers with the purpose of providing an environmental labelling scheme that would contribute to a sustainable consumption. The Nordic Swan Ecolabel was also initiated as a practical tool for consumers to help them actively choose environmentally-sound products. 8 DK-2900 Hellerup
and the Swanmark F Already Penol has obtained the license for a lot of our fibre tip pens and we are aspiring to get as many as possible of our products for children approved to be carrying the Nordic Swan Ecolabel. This year we are also introducing the Penol 800 and 850 Whiteboard Marker with the Swanmark - a novelty that will make a difference to those in offices, schools and homes who would like the option of an environmentally-sound product.
