Kaweco is often mistaken for a Japanese brand - not so! - it is 100% German. Originally established in 1899 in Heidelberg (also home of Lamy), the company was eventually renamed Kaweco as its owners namesake, Henrich Koch and Rudolph Weber - \u003ci\u003eKO\u003c\/i\u003ech, \u003ci\u003eWE\u003c\/i\u003eber and \u003ci\u003eCO\u003c\/i\u003empany.
