After 40 plus years as an OEM manufacturer for different global brands, Ta Shin Precision decided to start selling under their own brand, and thus TWSBI was born. TaShin Precision has over 40 years of experience in manufacturing with plastics and metals. Early products ranged from toy lego parts to high end writing instruments. This knowledge trickles down into every product TWSBI has to offer. The Rhodia notepad was very avant-garde when it was created in 1934, and instantly overshadowed existing notepads because of the quality of it's materials, it's original and innovative design ( a highly resistant scored front cover) and it's unique, inimitable orange cover. Cover is scored to neatly fold back, is soft to the touch, and orange inside. Moleskine was created as a brand in 1997, bringing back to life the legendary notebook used by artists and thinkers over the past two centuries: among them Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, and Bruce Chatwin. A trusted and handy travel companion, the nameless black notebook held invaluable sketches, notes, stories, and ideas that would one day become famous paintings or the pages of beloved books. Indispensable companions to the creative professions and the imagination of our times: they are intimately tied to the digital world. Pelikan is a German manufacturer of fountain pens and other writing, office and art equipment. Credited with the invention of the differential-piston filling method, the original company was founded in Hanover in 1832 before it went bankrupt and restarted. Pelikan is notable for its lack of innovation in pen manufacturing, preserving the then innovative methods and styles of its founding company. Pelikan's newer lines of re-released pens have deviated very little except to vary the sizes and coatings. The Griffix 'Learn to Write' system was released in 2009 and starts at a wax crayon up to a fountain pen with right and left handed grip profiles. Pelikan also manufactures several grades of ink for use in fountain pens and dip pens.
