Lamy believes on handwriting as a future competence and announces corresponding newproducts
Heidelberg, March 2024
At LAMY, 2024 is all about the “future of handwriting”:
The company is intensifying its commitment to education and advocating
handwriting as a key skill for lifelong learning. With a view to the future of
handwriting, LAMY is also expanding its digital writing portfolio, which
had already been decided before the change of ownership: the LAMY
safari note+, the brand's first stylus for the iPad, will be launched in the
summer. LAMY is also strengthening its marketing initiatives and focusing
on new communication approaches. For instance, the limited “LAMY x
Harry Potter” edition in co-operation with Warner will follow at the end of
the year. Lamy will thereby continue to pursue its premium strategy and
will now be supported by Mitsubishi Pencil in the form of expertise,
investment and an international distribution network.
