Sales of writing instruments record rises in volume sales during the months of school openings.

Competitive Landscape

Nevertheless, its Montblanc brand registered a poor performance during the second half of 2014, as Hong Kong was hit by prodemocracy protests and growing social tensions between the borders, further dampening retail sales amid the changing Chinese mainland. As such, Montblanc suffered slow value growth in 2014.
