You can flick a BIC; you can write with a BIC; you can even shave or sail with a BIC. Société BIC, the French consumer products company, makes the ubiquitous lighters, pens, and shavers. BIC sells its products in more than 160 countries. Its primary retail outlets include stationery stores, tobacco shops, drug stores, supermarkets, hypermarkets, and office supply stores. BIC also makes surfboards, windsurfers, kayaks, and sailboats through its BIC Sport division. Its BIC Graphic subsidiary imprints customer advertising on such BIC products as pens and lighters. Founder Baron Marcel Bich launched the BIC Cristal ballpoint pen in 1949, which has grown to hold the #1 spot in Europe and #2 spot in North America.
