Founded in 1945 and headquartered in Clichy, France, BIC offers a diverse product range including ballpoint, gel ink, and erasable pens; pencils and markers; lighters such as the BIC EZ LOAD; shaving products encompassing razors and blades; as well as promotional items and printed paper products. The company's products are sold in over 160 countries worldwide, targeting both individual consumers and commercial promotional markets. Recent strategic developments include BIC's ongoing product innovation and sustainability efforts, with an investment of approximately €50 million in research and development in 2023, aimed at launching new eco-friendly variants and maintaining product quality. In 2024 and 2025, BIC notably enhanced its governance structure by appointing a Lead Independent Director and made key board appointments, preparing for CEO succession by September 2025.
