London, UK – Spark Nibs, a pioneering independent fountain pen nib manufacturer, is proud to announce the launch of the first complete end-to-end production line of gold fountain pen nibs in the UK since the 1960s. In a feat of modern engineering and craftsmanship, this project has brought British manufacturing expertise back into a field that was once a global stronghold, with the Midlands historically known as the epicentre of nib production.
At the heart of this breakthrough is Susan Parker, the founder of Spark Nibs who led the project with unwavering dedication over 9.5 years. Remarkably, Susan taught herself the intricacies of engineering, design, and manufacturing through a combination of study, trial and error, and innovative role-playing techniques. Her relentless pursuit of perfection resulted in the creation of a production line capable of producing gold nibs entirely within the UK—a feat virtually unseen for decades.
In addition to the nibs, Spark Nibs has achieved the significant milestone of manufacturing other essential components, including feeds and collars, all within the UK. This positions the company as one of the few globally capable of offering customizable, small-scale nib production, with a particular focus on serving the growing demand of small and medium-sized fountain pen manufacturers across the UK and EU.
