Growing Sailor in U.S. fine writing

Sailor has made fountain pens in Japan since 1911. Calligraphers, collectors and everyday writers prize its nibs for their feel and precision.

SAMPRO helped bring Sailor into U.S. fine writing retail in the 2010s and grow it into a top-selling premium pen brand. Since 2014 we have run a special edition program with key dealers, creating limited pens and inks for their stores.
