Our History
At BIC we have a profound sense of respect for individual contributions. Here’s why. The history of BIC began over half a century ago with one man’s dream and one man’s vision. As a result, Marcel Bich revolutionized consumer writing habits. Today, BIC is the number one manufacturer of ballpoint pens and is a leader in all three of its markets: stationery products, lighters, and shavers. Every day, BIC sells 24 million stationery products, 5 million lighters, and 10 million shavers. It’s no wonder that BIC has become one of the largest and most recognized consumer products companies.
