Brand: Berol Pencil Co.
Made in: USA
Recycled what? Ahh, finally found out what they are using here. Box says recycled lunch trays and sawdust from window and door makers. Even the ferrule is 70% recycled aluminum from soda cans.
The company was originally founded in New York City by the Berolzheimer family, and in 1969 became part of Berol Corporation. That same year Eagle Pencil Co. merged with Berol, so you will see many co-branded pencils (such as the Black Warrior or Electronic Scorer) starting in the 1970s.
In 1986 Berol was purchased by Empire, which was purchased by Sanford in 1995, which in 1992 became a division of Newell Rubbermaid (today known as Newell Brands).
