Founded in Germany in 1930, it is one of the top ten brands of fountain pen and ink, a world-famous fountain pen manufacturer, and a writing instrument manufacturer integrating quality/creativity/fashion
LAMY was founded in Heidelberg in 1930 by C. Joseph as an independent family company. LAMY's brand has been around since 1952, and in its first year of existence, the company launched its unique LAMY 27 fountain pen collection, which showcases the company's innovative sensibility. 1966 saw the launch of LAMY's outstanding LAMY 2000 collection.
With an annual production of more than 6 million writing instruments and a turnover of more than 50 million euros per year, LAMY is not only a giant in the German writing instrument market, but also an internationally renowned German design brand.
In 1930, C. Josef Lamy opened the Orthos Füllfederhalter-Fabrik in Heidelberg, marking the beginning of the Lamy brand's illustrious history. Soon after its establishment, the factory produced more than 200,000 fountain pens per year. In 1952, the first streamlined fountain pen, the LAMY 27, was launched with the never-before-seen "Tintomatik" system. Twelve years later, when the first ballpoint pen with a large capacity refill, LAMY exact, was unveiled for the first time, it was a milestone in the company's reform. Over the years, Dr. Manfred Lamy has been searching for ways to enhance the potential of a brand's image.
In 1966, a historic moment finally came: in 1966, the Bauhaus designer Gerd A. Müller adhered to the consistent principles of the Bauhaus school, painstakingly studied the practical design of "form and natural energy", and absorbed the essence of the classic design of modern companies such as Braun and Olivetti, and finally created a refreshing LAMY 2000 series in 1966 - a solid but not flashy appearance. For the first time, the combination of polycarbonate and stainless steel makes it stand out from the crowd of writing instruments and create an enduring masterpiece. For LAMY, it also marked a new era for the product, and the LAMY 2000 series continues to dominate the market today. LAMY has become a leader in the industry, producing writing instruments with an emphasis on design. The company's commitment to developing excellent and affordable designs has been the result of its relentless commitment to the Bauhaus philosophy. LAMY also attaches great importance to sustainable production and insists on completing every process in Germany. LAMY's products have successfully set the example of the "Made in Germany" quality mark – and who else deserves such a reputation but LAMY?
LAMY is synonymous with quality, creativity and fashion, and upholds the consistent promise of the LAMY brand: impeccable design and perfection.
LAMY writing instruments are extraordinarily attractive, thanks to their technical excellence and fashion sense.
In LAMY's advertisement, the owners of the company tell what LAMY means to each of them. They are not ordinary people, but the central soul of LAMY, reflecting the philosophy that LAMY adheres to. They are all men and women of the independent era, and they all have their own legends.
They all found the most intimate writing instrument for themselves from LAMY, and found something completely theirs.
