Argentine company, founded by brothers Georg and Lazlo Biro. Lazlo Biro, a Hungarian journalist, had patented in [[1938]] a ballpoint pen, but without resulting in a production. He fled to Argentina in [[1940]] to escape the Nazis. He teamed up with his brother and in [[1943]] gave life to [[Eterpen]], the first company to produce and market ballpoint pens in an industrial way, using the [[Biro]] brand that from then on, at least in Italy, became practically synonymous with ballpoint pen.
