It’s been a remarkable few weeks for everyone here at Pilot as we scooped two national awards in just 6 days!

New Product Innovation Award
Pilot’s FriXion erasable rollerball pen won the New Product Innovation Award in the 2008 European Office Products Awards.

FriXion uses a really clever ink technology, named Metamocolor, which has taken years to perfect.  It couldn’t be easier to use as you write in the normal way but the ink can simply and quickly be erased by friction-generated heat, using the pen's special end stud.

Essentially it works in much the same way as a pencil and rubber – just without the mess! So, if you haven’t tried out our award-winning FriXion rollerball yet it’s well worth a try. Once you’ve tried it you’ll wonder how you managed without one.

Service Excellence Award
It's great to be recognised for producing innovative products but we are thrilled to have been recognised for running an efficient business.

It was one of our commercial customers, Corporate Express, who singled us out in the Service Excellence Award for Product/Operational Support.
