Kaweco is a German brand of writing implements, originally introduced by the Heidelberg Pen Company for its dip pens line in 1889. Kaweco became a public limited company in 1921, then being taken over by the Knust Woringen and Grube company (KWG), after Kaweco went bankrupt in 1930.
In 1994, Gutberlet GmbH, a cosmetics company based in Nuremberg, acquired the rights to the "Kaweco" name. The core business is the production and distribution of writing instruments and accessories.
Current products under the Kaweco brand include fountain, rollerball, digital and dip pens, and mechanical pencils.
