The [[Paillard]] origins date back to the [[1788]] when P. C. Lambertye founded his business in the production of watercolors. The company changed hands several times, first in 1822 and then in 1850, when it became the property of ''J. M. Paillard'', assuming his name. In [[1895]] ''Eugene Moreau'' took over the company, and from [[1898]] began to move production to Mouy. The company was established as ''Société Anonyme des anciens Établissements J. M. Paillard'' in [[1903]].

The transfer of production to Mouy was completed in [[1912]], but for the production of fountain pens a Paris office is indicated in advertising, Passage St-Sébastien, 17, address that is mentioned also in the patent applications abroad. It is not clear whether it is the head office or a company then split off from the original one. The company was active in the market of fountain pens since the end of World War I to the 60s.

Following fountain pens were produced under two brands, [[Semper]] for the top models and [[Scriptor]] for the economy segment. At the end of the '30s pens were instead identified directly with the ''J. M. Paillard'' name or the abbreviation  ''J.M.P.''. The fountain pen production ceased in [[1960]] but the company continued its activities in the market of writing materials.
