Consider biodegradable pens, 100% recycled writing-tools and sustainable packaging for your next purchase. It's 1944 and France is on the brink of survival. World War Two has shaken the world and in time of uncertainty, new ventures find it difficult to survive. There is however an exception. Marcel Bich, a humble production manager with a vast knowledge of the Ink Trade and his associate Edouard Buffard buys a run down factory in Clichy. The rest is soon history. In 1957 Marcel acquires Biro Swan, a leading pen company at the time, and introduces the UK and Ireland to one of the most recognizable brands in the world. ![BIC®](https://blog.pellacraft.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/BIC-300x111.jpg?width=300&height=111&name=BIC-300x111.jpg "BIC®") **Did you know? 20.3 million BIC® Stationery products are purchased every day worldwide!** The BIC® Cristal Pen is an affordable, common companion.
