DIPLOMAT Writing Instruments - The History of the Manufacturer

When Carl Räuchle founded the factory and workshop for turned fountain pens in Hennef in 1922, the success story of DIPLOMAT writing instruments began. Still relatively unknown, DIPLOMAT made its mark in the 1950s when it became the first German manufacturer to present a retractable ballpoint pen. With the invention of a fountain pen that could be refilled with cartridges, the absolute triumph of the DIPLOMAT brand began. The simple exchange of plastic ink cartridges was convincing, saving time and reducing ink stains. From the 1980s to 2004, the production site changed twice and is now located in Cunewald, where production takes place with the latest technologies and many years of experience to the highest quality.
