Faber-castell was founded in 1761, when Kaspar Faber produced the world's first pencil in his small workshop, and has a history of 256 years, making it one of the oldest industrial enterprises in Europe. Now run by the eighth generation of the family, Faber-Castell has grown from a small workshop to a large multinational company with nearly 5,500 employees today. Faber-castell writing Utensils are known for the simplest and most functional intelligent engineering. Faber-castell is expanding its operations year by year: it also produces a comprehensive range of high-quality writing utensils in Nuremberg, Bavaria. What remains is their commitment to smart engineering.
