Named after Milton Reynolds (1892-1976), entrepreneur and manufacturer of the first ball point pen, the first Reynolds pen debuted in New York at the 32nd Street store on the morning of October 29, 1945. The day the pen went on sale, an estimated 5,000 shoppers stormed the shop, and approximately 50 NYPD officers had to be dispatched for crowd control.
Beginning with the debut in 1945 of its iconic 045 writing pen, Reynolds has continued to provide high-quality writing instruments to consumers globally. Today, Reynolds is one of the most well-known brands in the Indian market with fabulous top-of-mind awareness and carries various much-in-demand products that include Trimax, Racer Gel, Jetter Classic, Brite and Champ. Reynolds Pens are now the favorite pens among millions in India and around the world.
