Viarco is Portugal's only pencil manufacturer (São João da Madeira), with pencil-making in the country since 1907 and the Viarco brand registered in 1936. This record groups its office, professional-writing and utility graphite lines: the Olímpico 290, Comercial 286A and Industrial 1020 writing pencils, the flat Carpinteiro 1016/1019 carpenter pencils, the magnetic-ended Magneto, the cedar Eco 260 office pencil, and the matte-black Desenho Premium 2001 drawing pencil. Cased in cedar (the Desenho Premium in incense cedar) and mostly hexagonal apart from the flat carpenter pencils, they are offered chiefly in HB, with the Desenho Premium 2001 drawing pencil also available in B.
