Rotring is a former German company producing technical drawing instruments and writing instruments. Founded in 1928 as a fountain pen manufacturer, Rotring is currently a brand owned by Newell Brands after its acquisition in 1998. The name "Rotring" translates directly to "red ring" which is still placed around the barrel of their pens. The company name was changed to Rotring in the early 1970s to match the trademark.

As the Rotring factory and headquarters in Hamburg were closed, production was managed and distributed by the Japanese manufacturer Holbein and other manufacturers.
