Faber-Castell

Faber-Castell As your companion for life, we distribute high-quality products for writing, drawing and creative des One of them was the cabinet-maker Kaspar Faber.

The beginning...

Pencil-makers were first recorded in the imperial city of Nuremberg around the year 1660. Numerous craftsmen also set up shop in the surrounding villages, but especially in Stein, just within the Marquisate of Ansbach. Here artisans were not subject to the same strict controls as in Nuremberg, so they had a competitive advantage. At first he worked for local traders, but in his s

pare time he produced pencils on his own account. Soon he became so successful that he was able to set up his own business. From these humble beginnings it was to develop into a company known all over the world.

Change needs creativity.
The sun, water, and wood waste from our manufacturing have been supporting to power our production for many years. Thanks to our perseverance, we have made great progress. In the 2024/25 fiscal year, 100 per cent of the electricity used at our production sites in Brazil, Peru, and Germany came from renewable sources. Globally, we meet 87 per cent of our total energy requirements from renewable sources. 💡

Why decide?
