Herlitz

Herlitz is a brand of office, school, and art supplies. The company was founded in 1844 in Berlin, Germany, by Julius Herlitz. Initially, it focused on the production of stationery and paper goods. Over the decades, Herlitz expanded its product range to include a wide variety of school supplies such as backpacks, pencil cases, folders, and writing instruments.

The brand is well-known in Germany and many other European countries for its quality and durability. Herlitz products are often associated with childhood and the school environment. The company has undergone several ownership changes throughout its history. In 2007, Herlitz was acquired by the Danish company F. Hammel, which itself is part of the Pelikan Group.

Today, the Herlitz brand continues to offer a broad spectrum of products aimed at students, teachers, and office professionals. Their product development often emphasizes functionality, ergonomic design, and child-friendly aesthetics. The brand maintains a significant presence in the European stationery market, continuing its long tradition of providing essential supplies for education and work.
