Family Run Since 2004

We have been selling pens and inks online since 2004 when founder, Ross Adams, finished his GCSE exams and was gifted a pen by his parents from another German brand, which turned out to be a little underwhelming.

After some online research, they found the lesser-known brand PELIKAN and started to sell them soon after on this site

Since then, we have grown and now have 6 staff based in Newport, South Wales, UK

Pen & Ink Specialists

Pelikan was established in 1838 in Hannover and have become world-renowned for their fine writing instruments and high-quality inks. 

With their first pen produced in 1929, Pelikan pens retain a time-honoured quality. Indeed, their higher-end ranges are still individually crafted to attain perfection, and despite their continual success, still base their manufacturing in Germany. 

Here at Pure Pens, we want to help you find that perfect pen and we want to ensure that you experience the very best of what Pelikan has to offer.
