In a <em>Counselor<\/em> story on the company, we cited all the reasons why Hub Pen is an award-winning company, lauding the nearly 60 years distributors have relied on the supplier for great pricing, unparalleled service and a sterling reputation for the personal touch. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"right\" src=\"http:\/\/timandrewsblog-asicentral.com\/timblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/hub3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"310\" height=\"176\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The company was founded in 1954 by Frank Fleming, who once tirelessly assembled pens by hand.
