History

Maped was founded in 1947 in Annecy, with its first products being brass compasses, in 1992 it proceeded to take over Mallatt, a company specializing in the manufacture of erasers, thus diversifying its range.

In 2003 it aired its first TV commercial in France and in 2006 it took over the German office stationery supplier Halit and JFP Graphos of France. In 2012 they also took over the English family run business of Helix, which is now called Maped Helix.

gollark: I think I've been pretty clear that I'd prefer Nobody to not gather people's datas without asking them *beforehand*, but if he does do that anyway then he should notify people he's doing it.
gollark: If he *isn't* telling people about his data gathering escapades then he may not receive the appropriate complaint volume, so maybe I should just *assume* he's looking up someone's data at random times and complain?
gollark: I'd prefer him to not do it *at all* over doing it and telling them, and would prefer doing it and telling them over doing it and not telling them.
gollark: Hmm. Well. I would prefer if Nobody *told* people if he was trying to find datas on them, and if he succeeded.
