Faber-Castell Pencils and Pens

The history of Faber-Castell is literally as old as the pencil itself. 

From the production of his first pencil in 1761, Kaspar Faber instigated a family legacy of consistent quality and innovation. Inventor of the hexagonal pencil, Faber’s standards for pencil size and grades of hardness are still the industry standards today.

One of the world’s first branded items available commercially, today, 244 years on from the production of their first pencil, Faber–Castell continues to remain one of the world’s most successful stationery manufacturers, now a worldwide operation that employs over 6000 people.
