About the founder

Oliver Deeg is the grandson of the inventor of the practical ballpoint pen ink, Paul Deeg. Through the invention of his grandfather in the 1950s and its constant further development, the Deeg family has made a significant contribution to the triumphant advance of the ballpoint pens that are now indispensable.

After completing his PhD in Chemistry, Oliver joined FMCG giant Unilever, where he held various positions in production, research and development, and eventually became a manager at the company’s German headquarters.

Later, Oliver transitioned to his family businesses, Dokumental GmbH & Co. KG, a leading global producer of writing ink, and IKF GmbH & Co. KG, an investment and real estate holding company. During his tenure at Dokumental, Oliver served as the Head of Research and Development, working closely with customers and component suppliers to develop groundbreaking products.

He is founder and principal consultant of Dr. Deeg Industrieberatung, a consultancy specializing in supporting SMEs with product development, establishing R&D, QA and production facilities and associated procedures.
