Our first product, The EnduraMark Renewable Dry Erase Marker was inspired by our common experience and a comment made by a professor at Normandale Community College: "Whoever can design a better whiteboard marker doesn't need to worry about passing my class".

During engineering school, we were constantly using dry erase markers to brainstorm, map out problems, and develop concepts. With all of this writing, we noticed how fast markers run out, wear out, and dry out, and always at the worst time! Once the marker is out, it's thrown out, and that adds up. Around half a billion dry erase markers are thrown out a year!

Our focus is to design and develop products by targeting typical single use disposable products (i.e. whiteboard markers) and improve upon them with the objective being to optimize performance and reduce environmental impact with an emphasis on renewability.
