Founded in 1985 by Gerhard W_rther, a mechanical engineer, W_rther set out to make distinctive mechanical pencils of exceptional quality. Twenty seven years later, W_rther and a small group of employees, continue to manufacture every writing instrument, some by hand in his home town of Baden Baden in Germany.

W_rther pride themselves on innovation and design, responsible for developing the machines that are used to produce the final product. Long-lasting and timeless, all W_rther products are made to stand the test of time.

The W_rther 5.6 mm refills are designed to fit the Compact Mechanical Pencil. Turn your Compact Mechanical Pencil  into a vibrant tool for adding colourful highlights to your work, make notations or mark-up on tricky surfaces that other pens or pencils can't do (like glass, plastic or perspex).
