One of the essential elements of stainless steel is chrome. The combination of these two words witnessed the birth of the INOXCROM^®brand that Maria Boix Gacia registered in July 1946 for writing instruments that used stainless steel nibs manufactured in the Industrial Mava Workshop in Barcelona.

As the market grew, the license of the INOXCROM^® brand was granted to the Inoxcrom company, founded by Manuel Vaqué Ferrandis when he joined forces with Federico Jarque Serarols of Talleres Aurum in order to consolidate its manufacturing capacity, and with Ricardo Gurina Pérez of Soffer Hispania to guarantee distribution by assuring commercial service.

Miguel Sorribes Artola, Pablo Borotau Roselló and Víctor Manuel Muñoz Blan who had the expertise in mechanics were responsible for committing to a high level of quality and headed a motivated team of mechanics who aimed for high precision. They achieved an image of excellence in quality that together with a policy of very reasonable prices saw the consolidation of the INOXCROM^® brand in Spain. This success enabled them to move into exports, attaining great prestige in more than ninety countries.

It was thanks to the designing of manufacturing and transformation processes for stainless steel developed by Valentin Llopis Prusi and his team that the catalogue of products with a stainless steel finish increased very substantially, decidedly associating the INOXCROM^® brand with the metal that gave it is name.

One of the foremost values identified with the brand worldwide had been its firm commitment to sustainability with the introduction of the internationally recognised Jumbo cartridge. Its great capacity lengthens its use, and because it can be substituted the ball pen acquires an indefinite life span, like the fountain pens which were the first quality reference in the history of the INOXCROM^® brand.

From 2012, the Inoxgrup Cooperative holds the license to exploit the INOXCROM® brand. The team’s experience in mechanics has maintained the quality standards required by the prestigious INOXCROM^® brand. Currently PensFromBcn is the exclusive global distributor.
