Faber-Castell: Two Centuries of German Excellence
Faber-Castell began in 1761 when cabinet maker Kaspar Faber started producing pencils in his small workshop in Stein, Germany. What started as a modest operation has become one of the world's oldest industrial companies, remaining in the same family for over 260 years.
Today, producing over 2 billion pencils annually, Faber-Castell has earned recognition from creative legends including Vincent van Gogh and Karl Lagerfeld. You are holding instruments crafted by a company that has spent centuries perfecting the simple joy of putting ideas to paper.
