The name Tombow has been associated with original office products since 1913. As early as 1910, Mr. Harunosake Ogawa founded Tombow which at that time specialised in the production of pencils. By 1927, the Tombow brand was firmly established and in 1929, on request of the Japanese Government, Tombow produced a pencil for Technical Drawing. Today the Tombow office products range includes products which write, “stick”, correct, highlight and sketch.

Have you ever try to write horizontally, overhead for a period of time, in a dusty environment or on wet paper with a “normal” ballpoint pen? The gravity and the lack of pressure in the ink-lead make this virtually impossible. The Tombow technicians have successfully addressed this problem by using complex testing and have developed the “AirPress Pen”, which has worldwide-patented technology.
