Pelikan Hub 2025 was on 24th October, a Friday. Compared to the two previous years, this year's was held in October instead of September.

Pelikan's recent releases include the new special edition Souverän® M815 Metal Striped Blue. Also announced recently is the Souverän® M600 Art Collection Rudi Rother.
