==History==

In the first part of 20th century, Kores expanded to become one of the world’s first globalized companies that produced chemical office products such as [[carbon paper]], in countries as far and wide as China and Egypt. Kores had its own company magazine, Kores Revue, and an official sales handbook on how to sell carbon paper, which are displayed at the Kores museum display at the Vienna HQ. Following a decline in carbon paper sales due to changing office technology, Kores began focusing on the production of glue sticks and correction products from the 1990s, expanding into the new markets of Eastern Europe, as well as supplying global businesses in Western Europe and the United States.

In the 2000s, under the leadership of Peter Koreska, Kores International Product Management began innovating a growing number of products such as [http://www.kores.com/products/correction/scooter-red-correction-tape/ Scooter] and 2Way [[correction tape]]s, Neon coloured glue sticks, Bright Liner [[highlighter]]s and Desk Pot and Design Line [[adhesive tape]] dispensers. Kores also introduced one of the largest ranges of coloured index notes for bookmarking and referencing. In 2009, the Kolores range of [[Colouring pencils|coloring pencils]] were launched worldwide as Kores expanded into school products. Kolores coloured pencils are known for their soft application, vivid colours and clean sharpening. Following the success of Kolores, Kores launched [[Crayons|wax crayons]], [[Felt tip pen|felt tip]] pens, pencils and sharpeners.
