About Kaweco
Kaweco is a German writing instrument manufacturer founded in 1883 in Heidelberg as the Heidelberger Federhalter Fabrik. Heinrich Koch and Rudolph Weber took over in 1889, and the brand name Kaweco is built from KOch, WEber and COmpany. The first Kaweco safety fountain pen launched in 1909, and by the 1920s the company employed 600 people producing 130,000 fountain pens a year, with subsidiaries in Berlin, Paris, Zurich, and Vienna. The name and tooling were acquired in 1929 by Knust, Woringen and Grube of Wiesloch. Kaweco's pocket-sized Sport model, introduced in 1935, remains its defining product. Supreme collaborated with Kaweco on a Sport fountain pen.
