We helped build Pentel’s inking category

SAMPRO has worked with Pentel since the Pentel Arts division was formed. We helped define its inking category, from the Pocket Brush to the Aquash water brush.

That work led to the Inking Center, the most successful retail display in Pentel’s history. Today we represent Pentel to art and writing retailers across the East Coast and Midwest.
