The story

From pen tip to promotional pen.

Prodir comes from a family of writing system specialists. That knowledge of what goes inside a pen is exactly why a Prodir writes so smoothly. And a pen that writes well also makes the message on it more credible.

  • 1961: Giorgio Pagani founds Premec, later the world leader in components for writing systems
  • 1980s: Prodir is created as a spin-off, fully focused on promotional writing instruments
  • 2017: Prodir and Premec merge to form Pagani Pens SA
  • Today: the brands Prodir and Pigra for writing instruments and Premec for components

Swiss made

All made in-house, in Ticino.

From tip to clip: every part of a Prodir pen is produced in Switzerland, across three of its own sites in the south of the country.

01 · Lamone

Headquarters

Close to Lugano. This is where pad printing and screen printing, assembly and finishing take place.

02 · Novazzano

Injection moulding

The plastic parts are injection moulded here, and the moulds are also developed and made on site.

03 · Cadempino

Writing systems

The centre of expertise for writing systems: tips, ink and refills come from here.

For years the models have been designed by Studio C of Christoph Schnug in Milan, winning the Promotional Gift Award, the iF Product Design Award and the Good Design Award, among others.
