Diplomat

The year 2008 was pivotal for
the eighty-five-year-old Diplomat brand—a year of expansion, new marketing campaigns, new products, and a fresh new look for the classic designs that dominated the brand throughout the 20th century. With all of these modernizing improvements in place, Diplomat is now ready to Write the Future (www.WriteTheFuture.info).
After two years of operation, Points of Distinction is pleased to be an integral part of this worldwide Diplomat resurgence. The company was formed in late 2006 for the express purpose of bringing the Diplomat line of pens and mechanical pencils back into the U.S. market. The new company grew out of a simple effort to locate ink cartridges and accessories for an old Diplomat pen. During the search, the founders learned that there was no distribution of this fine old German pen line in North America, and they set out to change that.
Now under the ownership of helit Buroprodukte GmbH of Kierspe, Germany, Diplomat has been producing fine writing instruments in Germany since 1922. There are several noteworthy milestones throughout the company’s history, including the development of the first German cartridge-refill system for fountain pens. Long known as the Classics, Diplomat’s flagship pens are now found in the Excellence line, offering a range of exclusive German-made writing instruments of exquisite craftsmanship rivaling many of the world’s best pens. They feature a variety of multi-layer lacquered finishes of amazing visual depth, elegantly trimmed in gold or chrome. The substantial, finely milled fountain pen nibs are each carefully engraved, then tested by hand to assure immediate writing pleasure for the new owner. The Diplomat line also includes new and updated pens under the names of Optimist, Carisma, Esteem, and Traveller, retaining the quality and craftsmanship of the Excellence line and bringing in a wider range of colors, styles and price points. The Diplomat product range includes ballpoints, rollerball pens, fountain pens, and mechanical pencils, currently ranging from $15 to $400 retail and always representing good value for the consumer. All Diplomat ballpoint pens now feature the unique new EasyFlow ink cartridge, a revolutionary technology that combines the convenience of a ballpoint with the easy feel of a gel pen or rollerball.
The principals at Points of Distinction, a family-based business with a genuine commitment to doing things right, believe that a good pen should serve its owner well for many years, providing a comforting, environmentally-friendly sense of continuity. Several retail partnerships have already been formed, and new dealers are always welcomed, with the goal of providing easy access to Diplomat products and services throughout the country.
