mongrelnomad Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 As the son of an Argentine, it would be interesting to know when the South American onus shifted from Argentina to Brazil re both manufacturing and market. I know that Parker had a factory in Argentina in the 1950s; anyone else? Too many pens; too little writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Parker had a factory in Argentina in the 1950s; anyone else? Parker had BOTH factories (Brazil and Argentina) simultaneously. Sheaffer too... The south american Sheaffer operation was called ILASA. Look at my horse, my horse is amazing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. E. Samad Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 It's interesting that Argentina has been mentioned in this thread because László József Bíró (the inventor of the modern Biro pen) set up a company in Argentina to mass-produce his patented ballpoint pens many decades ago. Something must have encouraged him to go to that country and manufacture his pens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several foreign companies established operations in Argentina because its money health. They falled after 1960 after several dictator military governments. In 1982, they declared war against Great Britain by the Falkland Islands. After that, they never succeed to raise up again... Look at my horse, my horse is amazing!!!

Eduardo Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Compactor was founded by Buschle in Wuppertal/ GermanyKind RegardsThomas Exactly, but the Buschle family emigrates to Brazil in 1953. Today they don't make fountain pens. They are comercial partners of the german brand Schneider. Compactor Solo is the name of the Schneider model they sell.

PDW Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Just received in the post a Pilot 77 marked IND. BRASELEIRA. The tip of the lever on the filler actuator is broken off so it looks like it's going to be a bulb filler when I've replaced the sac, but I think it's going to be a nice pen to use.
