Faber-Castell

A. W. Castell, as it was then known, began in 1761 in Stein, Germany, as a pioneer brand and one of the world's oldest industrial enterprises. Kaspar Faber established the firm as a cabinet maker. In 1761, Faber-Castell launched the world's first graphite pencil on the market, making it the oldest pencil manufacturer in the world. Since then, this product has been continuously manufactured and is still a popular product today. Kaspar Faber's ambitious great-grandson, Baron Lothar, succeeded him at a later date. The name Faber-Castell was established when Lothar's granddaughter married a cadet of the Counts of Castell. Faber-Castell has continued to develop interesting designs that are not only beautiful to look at, but also pleasant to use and trustworthy in their operation. Faber-Castell offers a wide range of retail goods, including wood-cased pencils, coloured pencils, mechanical pencils, fountain pens, ballpoint pens, rollerball pens and erasers. Their products are popular at home, school, office, and with artists and children alike.
