The company's origins date back to the activity of Nisbet MacNiven that in [[1770]] founded a factory in Balerno, near Edinburgh, the city where activities on stationery production were transferred in [[1788]]. In [[1840]] John and Donald Cameron joined the company that became the ''MacNiven & Cameron Ltd.'' ''Duncan Cameron'' is credited with the design of the ''Waverley'' nib produced by ''[[Gillot Steel Pens]]'' since [[1864]] and roughly until the mid-70s of the 19th century. The company acquired a factory in Birmingham in 1900 and continued to produce nibs working in the stationery products market up to the closure of the factory in 1964.
