Kaco and Stálogy

If you follow my YouTube channel you might have seen my video about Kaco. Two minutes into this video I show the KacoGreen Multipen.

Since it’s made in Japan ^[1]Kaco is from China I assumed it was bought in and suspected that this ‘shape’ of multipen is also being used by other brands.

I have now found another pen that is presumably from the same OEM: The Stálogy multipen. The clip looks different and I assume the refills are different. The KacoGreen refills are stamped “Kaco”, so I assume Kaco is using their own refills in a bought-in body.

OEM products are fairly common in the stationery industry. For sharpeners OEM products are used by many brands. When it comes to OEM fountain pens I noticed some with similar looks but massively different quality.
