The Parker Pen Company is an American manufacturer of luxury pens, founded in 1888 by George Parker in United States. In 2011 the Parker factory at Newhaven, East Sussex, England, was closed, and its production transferred to Nantes, France. From the very beginning to present days, Parker’s craftsmen and designers have never stopped working, innovating, and reinventing the Parker pen. Making a Parker pen is a solemn act of creation. Modern Parker pens are complex mechanisms of up to 21 individual parts designed to work together to produce pens of discerning quality. For the most prestigious lines, meticulously selected materials are enhanced by decorative treatments and manual polishing before being assembled by hand and rigorously tested. Attention to detail is at the core of every Parker pen and it requires experts who have an aesthetic attention to detail. When creating it's products Parker uses such precious materials such as rhodium, platinum, gold, silver, and precious resins and manually polish and enhance them with decorative treatments such as precious stones before they are assembled, along with 18K solid gold nibs, by hand.
