Neuland® markers are professional, sustainable, refillable pens popular for sketchnoting, visual facilitation, graphic recording, and training. Made in Germany, they're the marker of choice for visual practitioners worldwide. 

Known for their ergonomic design, vibrant water-based inks, and replaceable nibs, they're available in lines like No.One (all-rounder), BigOne (large formats), and FineOne (precision), all designed to minimize waste and provide comfortable, high-quality results on various surfaces. 

Graphic Gear is the official reseller of Neuland® products for Australia and New Zealand, run by the team at Sketch Group in Melbourne, Australia. Like so many illustrators, facilitators, and graphic recorders, the Sketch Group team fell in love with Neuland® products, and used them on a daily basis, but there wasn't an easy way to get hold of them in a timely fashion.

Thus Graphic Gear was born—so that the Sketch Group team could get easy access to Neuland markers, refills, and other accessories without waiting for weeks while products were shipped from Germany. And so can you!
