There are brands that carry such a strong character that they transform every space they touch. We bring exactly this feeling of freshness and color to our OK Office. We are very excited to share that our portfolio is now richer with the products of the Spanish leader Milan, a brand with over a century of history that captures the spirit of the southern sun and transforms it into bold, innovative solutions for the office and school.

With its recognizable design, interesting color combinations and proven quality, Milan shows that school and office supplies can be both functional and modern.

A story born from an iconic eraser

The story of Milan begins in 1918 in Spain. It all started with the production of a small, but revolutionary item for its time - the first erasers made of synthetic rubber. Generations around the world have grown up with the classic pink Milan 430 eraser, which remains a symbol of the brand to this day.

Over the past century, the small family business has grown into an international leader with a presence in over 120 countries. However, the brand's philosophy remains unchanged: "Innovation, design and functionality in every detail." Milan proves that even the most ordinary office or school supplies can have character and their own style.

Why is the Milan brand so special?

Milan products are distinguished by several key advantages that make them a preferred choice in the corporate world and in the classroom:

  • Unique and distinctive design: Their collections (such as the popular Sunset, Copper or Acid series) rely on harmonious color palettes, ergonomic shapes and special "soft-touch" coatings that make the products extremely pleasant to touch.
  • Innovation in two directions: The creation of combined products (for example, a 2-in-1 eraser with sharpener) is a trademark of the brand, which saves space and optimizes desk work.
  • Commitment to nature: A large part of the plastic components are made from recycled materials, and the wooden pencils come from certified plantations with a sustainable future in mind.
