I don't understand " Although you may not find them commonly distributed in the United States or other countries, Schneider is a leading international brand for writing instruments in Germany. The company has been developing and producing writing instruments to the highest standards for 80 years, and is certified by EMAS for its commitment to sustainable business practices. Schneider is offered through Stride, a certified WBE (Women-Owned Business Enterprise) that has been distributing high-quality office products at reasonable prices since the 1980s. Dedicated to creating equal employment opportunities for senior citizens and people with disabilities, the company has made great strides in changing industry standards. "
a bit confused , what does all of this have to do with the product ? very impressive, good for them ... as a consumer am I suppose to buy a product because of this ?

AdamGHHi Adam, Thanks for your thoughts and I agree! We should probably redo the verbiage for this drop... it doesn't really sell the product! What can I answer about the product that might be of use to you?
This is a ballpoint pen, it writes an extra bold 1.4mm, the inks are waterproof, light resistant and documental. An average ballpoint pen writes 1/3 mile, the Memo has a write out length of 1.5 miles. The stainless steel tip is wear resistant guaranteeing consistent write out and ink flow. Of all the Schneider pens we sell in the USA, the Memo outsells them all. The ink is a patented formula called Viscoglide and produces vivid, colorful lines as in a gel ink pen without the mess. The fast drying ink is particularly great for lefties. The barrel has an ergonomic shape and rubberized surface.
A bit more about Stride-We are immensely proud of our terrific employees because they are special, Special Needs that is. Our colleagues are adults with down syndrome, autism, etc. An integrated environment allows our workers to advance within our organization. We like to tell this story because when you buy and use Schneider pens you are supporting this important mission and we are grateful.

kkjbThank you for your reply, on a constructive and series note, as a consumer, I am interested in the first part. the 2nd part doesn't add a lot to consumer unless you want people to buy the product to sympathize with the employees.
my opinion , if Schneider or MD really care about this they can add it to the product as a card or on pens' the rapping, and get a way with it if they upload a picture of it.
PS: Schneider is one of the biggest companies I know Schindler from other products, I never knew Schneider produces writing instruments until I joined MD.
