Welcome to the WIMA website!

With over $4 billion in sales each year, the writing instrument industry faces new challenges each day. Each one impacts the sale of pens, pencils, markers, erasers or components of these instruments. The voice of this industry is the Writing Instrument Manufacturers Association (WIMA).

The purpose of WIMA is to promote the overall interest of the writing instrument industry in the United States, Canada and Mexico. To this end, WIMA strives to keep its members well-informed on issues which affect the industry and individual companies. WIMA provides a forum in which to discuss such issues and take such action as is deemed appropriate, and maintains a public relations program to inform the general public concerning safe and proper use and importance of writing instruments.
