German company, based in Pforzheim. Founded in 1900[1] it is known for metal working. It is also known for the production of pens with high quality overlay in rolled gold metal or silver, which were also used by other manufacturers for their models. It is also believed to be the producer of most overlays used by Montblanc in the '20s and '30s.

The company, however, is much better known for its production of mechanical pencils are able to maintain and use various mines in different colors, marketed under the Norma brand. There are present in many advertising, like those that are listed below. In 1930 a foreign branch under the name of Fendograph was founded in Milan, which produced high quality overlay pens.

Sempre negli anni '30 era presente con il marchio Norma negli Stati Uniti, la Norma Multicolor, Inc., New York, NY, dove rimase attiva fino al 1967, non è chiaro se si tratti di una filiale, ma sembra più probabile si tratti di una azienda completamente diversa. Negli anni '50 produsse modelli costruiti completamente in metallo. L'azienda cessò le attività nel 1971.

Modelli noti: Fend Norma dal particolare pennino conico.
