Sorry to inform you that Uni-Ball and Sanford ARE the same company... as well as Sharpie, Papermate, Rotring, Waterman, Foohy and others. They are ALL owned by Newell Rubbermaid and all run by the Newell corporation. I work at a Sanford Brands division. We actually don't make anything there related to Sanford. We have one section of the building devoted to Papermate pen barrels. The rest of the manufacturing area is pumping out office products and chair mats marketed under the Rubbermaid and Eldon names along with some Staples, Office Depot and Office Max private branded items. Our DC takes in and ships out Rolodex, Rubbermaid, Eldon, and several other brands. It's all one big company... with many different names.. but if you look on the back of the packages you'll see the same thing.. "A division of Newell Rubbermaid"</p> Umm..

Sanford L.P. is the exclusive distributor of uni-ball gel and roller pens in U.S. and Canada. uni-ball pens are manufactured by Mitsubishi Pencil Co., Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan.

So, Sanford distributes Uni-ball products in the US, but they are all made by Mitsubishi Pencil Company of Japan. Over here in the UK, they’re just sold as Uni-ball products directly – the UK distributor is a UK division of Mitsubishi Pencil Company (not connected to the Mitsubishi group of companies).
