Acme Pens

Founded in Los Angeles in 1985, by Adrian Olabuenaga and his wife, Lesley Bailey. In recent years, ACME has consistently created new collections and focused its attention on the development of new technologies and using a new design philosophy to produce writing tools, (ACME was the first company to do printed pens, starting a revolution in the pen industry), resulting in endless new possibilities for designs in this area. This focus into writing tools has fundamentally changed the company and helped to make it into an international brand.

"ACME is now the Swatch® of the pen business."
