Our Story
The Shea family began in the writing instrument industry in 1928 making fountain pen nibs in New York City. With the introduction of the ballpoint refill in the 1950's, Rotary Pen was founded in Jersey City, NJ where it began injection molding plastic components to house the writing cartridge. In the 1970's through a partnership with the National Industries for the Blind, Rotary Pen assisted in the development of a program that would employ hundreds of blind workers who assembled pens for the US government.
When almost every other pen manufacturer moved off-shore during the 1990's and early 2000's, Rotary Pen remained dedicated to its roots of US manufacturing. Pen Company of America purchased Rotary Pen in 2011 as it saw a resurgence of customers who demanded USA made product. The fourth generation Shea family continues to run operations daily out of its 39,000 sq. ft. New Jersey factory.
With more than 50's years of history, 650,000+ pens manufactured weekly, two new patented products and a passion to continue to provide quality USA made products, Pen Company of America is the largest manufacture of true USA made ballpoint pens and markers in the country.
