If so, its history is:
Founder Qiao Ye? Parker used to be a sales agent for Holland Golden Pen Company. He obtained the first pen-related patent at 1889. 1894, Parker's patent "Lucky Curve" was approved, which was used to return the excess ink to the pen when it was not used. The lucky curve always uses different shapes before 1928.
From the 1920s to the 1960s, until the popularity of ballpoint pens, Parker's sales of writing tools have been in the forefront of the world. 193 1 year, Parker invented Quink "quick-drying ink" to prevent ink stain pollution, making Parker 5 1 the most widely used model in the history of pen development (its total sales in 30 years exceeded 4 billion). Over the years, we have established production facilities in Canada, Britain, Denmark, France, Mexico and Argentina. Parker pens are often used to sign important documents, such as the armistice agreement of World War II, and sometimes commemorative editions are issued.
From 65438 to 0976, Parker owned Manpower Company when the temporary labor market developed. At that time, Manpower earned more than its stationery industry.
1987 A MBO moved its headquarters to New Haven, East Sussex, England. 1993 Parker was owned by Gillette Company, which owned the PaperMate brand at that time and was one of the best-selling replaceable ballpoint pens. In 2000, Gillette Company sold its writing instrument division to Novick Byrd, a company that cooperated with Sanford, a writing instrument division with the most brands in the world, such as Rotring, Sharpie, Reynolds, Parker, PaperMate, Waterman and Liquid Paper.
