No Conway Stewart Products In India Any More

[victorbravo]

All the distributors and stockists of Conway Stewart have shut shop and I just exhausted my last bottle of ink. What a pity not to have this brand available at all in India. Does anyone know of a stockist?

[victorbravo]

Oh well! I see no one is interested in the subject. Perhaps someone could guide me as to the best outlets in Central London - around Oxford Street is preferred.

Hi

 

Here are some retailers in India. I have no idea if this is accurate or up to date. But you could give it a try.

William Penn has also discontinued Conway Stewart early this summer. After going to all the retail centres and speaking to a few experts I have learnt that Conway Stewart is not available anywhere in India. Why? No one seems to know for sure. Other brands are expanding as the market is said to be expanding. Maybe this is a business idea? Taking a cue from Steve Job's life, I wonder who in Conway Stewart is responsible for expansion in the Indian market? If you do know the contact details please share them with me, I have an idea to put to them.

 

Thanks

You could contact Penz Solutions located in Gurgaon & Haryana. They are distributors for quite a few brands such as Conway Stewart, DELTA, Pelikan, Porsche Design, ONOTO, etc.

You do know Conway Stewart went in administration?

The factory is closed and all equipment sold.

Besides the fact that this is a very old thread and that the OP surely bought another ink... Wasn't Conway Stewart ink just rebranded Diamine?

Towards the end it was but I am not too sure about the early days (i.e. the late 1990s early 2000s).

The old ink (at least 2008-2012) was in the Pelikan bottles, so I am guessing that was their first source for the ink. (just like Cross inks)

 

And indeed, for our new member Penpro: You were being very helpful, but the older a topic is, the less useful that is. Sometimes the members who originated the topic are not even active here any more... (not in this case, VictorBravo has been active in October 2014. You can check this by hovering your mouse-pointer over the avatar, this will give you some info on that member, including last active log in)

Actually the CS bottles are not the same as Pelikan bottles. Simular shape but slightly smaller and clearly marked "made in England". But it is all water (or ink) under the bridge now.

Maybe these look familiar !
