## About Edding

**edding AG** is a [German](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany) company manufacturing writing and marking tools such as felt-tip pens and [permanent markers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_marker). The company's products are immensely popular in Europe, leading to the brand name "Edding" being widely used as a generic name for permanent markers. edding AG was founded in 1960 in [Hamburg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburg) by Carl-Wilhelm Edding and Volker Detlef Ledermann. At that time they started with a start-up capital of just 500 [Deutsche Mark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Mark). In 1965 they established the group brand planMASTER and started to sell products for planning and visual communication. By the end of 1970, almost 100 million edding felt- and fibre-tipped pens had been sold across the world. Eight years later the Group presented its first ever paint marker with an opaque, which is suitable even on darker surfaces.
