Concepts, talents, and a well-known name occupy an important position in today's international market.

Faber-Castell is a stationery brand that represents high-quality writing and painting. These products are indispensable tools for everyone's daily life.

The company’s founding roots can be traced back to 1761. At that time, KASPAR FABER, a kitchen cabinet manufacturer in Germany, came up with the idea to produce his first pencil. His ideas sparked the creation of a global business empire. Afterwards, descendants of the Faber family continued to operate the KASPAR FABER pencil factory located in the town of Stein near Nuremberg. In 1840, LOTHAR VON FABER, the fourth generation of the FABER family, took over the family pencil business at the age of 22. At that time, he was in Paris and had only a simple plan in his mind. He was determined to reform the business. His idea made the hexagonal pencil he produced the first high-quality pencil in Germany. LOTHER FABER branded this new series of pencils with the A.W. FABER trademark, becoming the company's first brand of pencils. With the increasing demand for high-quality pencils in other countries, LOTHER FABER took the opportunity to establish A.W. FABER subsidiaries in the United States and Paris. This action turned A.W. FABER into an international brand. In 1851, LOTHER FABER made history again by defining the length, thickness and hardness of lead in his standard pencil. Today, his specifications have been accepted by peers around the world.

In 1898, LOTHER FABETR's granddaughter and the sole heir to A.W. FABER's prosperous pencil business married Count Alexander Ludenhausen, causing the name of the Faber company to be changed to Faber-Castell.
