The company was founded by Ernst Rodenhäuser, who had a small factory in Ober-Ramstadt and who in [[1956]], after the bankruptcy of [[Reform]] from Nieder-Ramstadt, bought its production facilities and buildings. There are also substantially identical pens produced under the brand [[Rodur]], a brand which, like ''Ero'', seems to derive from the name of the founder, and which is not clear whether it was earlier or contemporary. Since the instruction leaflets are identical, and since the packaging of a piston-shaped ''Hero'' bears the words ''Rodursal'', there is no doubt that it is the same company.

Purtroppo della produzione si hanno pochissime notizie, in genere si tratta di modelli in materiale plastico con caricamento a stantuffo, marcati quasi sempre solo col nome del produttore, anche se è noto il modello ''Rector''. La produzione era rivolta alla fascia economica, con pennini in acciaio (anche se esistono modelli dotati, come quello citato, di pennino in oro). Le penne sono comunque tutte di ottima qualità costruttiva.

Unfortunately very little is known about the production, usually beeing plastic models with piston filling, marked almost always only with the manufacturer's name, although the ''Rector'' model is known. Production was aimed at the economical end of the market, with steel nibs (although there are models equipped, like the one mentioned, with gold nibs). However, all the ''Ero'' pens were of excellent construction quality.
