History of A.T Cross
Cross is one of the longest running stationary companies in the world with over 175 years in business. Established in 1846 by Richard Cross, A.T. Cross was America’s first manufacturer of fine writing instruments. In the early years Richard Cross specialised in crafting writing pencil casings in gold and silver. Richard’s son Alonzo Townsend Cross shared his father’s passion for innovation. In 1879 Alonzo Cross invented the first propel-repel mechanical pencil.
In 1916 Alonzo Cross sold the company to his top salesman Walter Boss, the business was kept in the Boss family with some of his descendants still remaining as key figures today. During WW1 Cross, like many other businesses, began to make parts for the army. Following the war the demand for writing instruments rapidly increased and Boss’s sons and Grandsons. In the 1930’s Cross manufactured their first mass produced fountain pen. They waited until 1953 to release a ballpoint pen wanting to perfect the design and manufacturing process, unlike several other companies who released poor quality ballpoints in the 1940s.
Nowadays Cross embraces the modern world and the digital age. They have developed a range of hybrid styluses. As well as embracing the digital age they have continued to develop and perfect their classic ranges. With customers in over 140 countries Cross truly is a global leader in fine writing.
