Company founded
1923
Founded in 1923, Scripto is distinguished by a rich history rooted in early 20th century America ingenuity. In 1923, M.A. Ferst invented the world's first mechanical pencil, thus beginning the legacy that made the Scripto mechanical pencil an American industrial icon. Although much has changed over the past 77 years, Scripto still maintains Mr. Ferst's vision of innovation with purpose, a principle that is reflected in fine products at exceptional values.
