About BIC
In 1945 Marcel BICH (1914-1994) started working with Edouard BUFFARD (1908-1996), manufacturing parts for fountain pens in a factory in Clichy, just outside of Paris.
During this period, Marcel BICH realized the enormous potential for the ballpoint pen. Subsequently, he adapted and improved a process for making ballpoints invented by the Hungarian Laszlo BIRO and in December 1950, launched his own ballpoint pen in France under the BIC® brand, a shortened and more memorable version of his own name. The high quality and affordable price of the BIC® Cristal® meant that it was quickly adopted by an increasing number of consumers.
