Widevan and Parker are both part of Sanford, the world's largest stationery company. Today, Weidiwen is one of the largest manufacturers of writing instruments in the world. Currently, Weidi's writing products are sold in 115 countries and regions. Louis Edson Wediven, the founder of Wediven, was originally an unknown insurance salesman in New York and later started a fountain pen agency business. In 1883, he opened a shop at 136 Fulton Street in New York, where he assembled fountain pens from parts and sold them. In 1884, Welden received an invention patent and became the first pen manufacturer to offer customers a five-year product warranty. In 1900, sales of Wyndham's fountain pens had reached an average of 1,000 pens per day. In the same year, Wei Diwen won the Gold Medal of Excellence at the World Pen Exhibition in Paris.
In order to improve product quality, Weidiwen hired a specialized jewelry company to carefully carve the ink pen casing, and launched a variety of unique designs, such as the world's smallest matchstick-sized pens, etc. These pens attracted public attention to Weidiwen.
In 1905, Tsarist Russian representative Witte signed the historically famous Japan-Russia "Portsmouth Treaty" with a Wyvern standard 18-type ink pen. In 1919, British Prime Minister George signed the Treaty of Versailles with a gold ink pen, ending the First World War. With its bold design and impeccable craftsmanship, Weidiwen has made writing instruments more perfect and won the favor of dignitaries from all over the world.
However, Wei Diwen's road to glory has not been smooth sailing. While pen manufacturers such as Parker have predicted that color pen products will be popular in the future, Weidiwen is still producing two-color hard glue pens. As a result, Weidiwen American Company was forced to cease production due to poor management in the mid-1950s. After that, only factories in Canada, the United Kingdom and France continued production to support the situation.
Fortunately, in the 1930s, the French subsidiary Ziff-Video developed a well-received ink-core fountain pen, and after World War II it launched a popular four-color ballpoint pen. . This company became the standard bearer of the Wyndi brand after the collapse of Wyndi in the United States. In 1971, Rift Wediven Company was reorganized into Wedven SA Company, and later took back the registered trademark in the United States, and within 18 months, it took back control of the trademarks in Canada, the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth countries and Asia. right.
At present, in addition to ink pens, this famous brand from France also has ballpoint pens and lead pens. As one of the largest writing instrument manufacturers in the world, Weidi writing pens are sold in more than 100 countries and regions around the world and have become the treasure of high-end people.
French Weidiwen is the oldest pen-making company in the world. Precision-made using a large amount of precious metals, Weidiwen is a beauty that expresses its individuality vividly. With a distinguished history of more than 100 years, Weidiwen has won the favor of European dignitaries and business and political figures. The stunning styles, bold color applications and sophisticated handcrafting make Weidiwen pens have unparalleled value. To this day, wearing a Weidi writing pen is still the most authentic portrayal of elegant life taste!
