Faber-Castell Textile marker 38 Orange

The beginnings of Faber-Castell go back to the year 1761 ? k. At that time, the carpenter Kaspar Faber (1730-1784) began producing pencils in Stein near Nuremberg, which his wife sold on the Nuremberg market. The foundation stone for conquering the world market was laid as early as the 19th century with branches in trading metropolises such as New York or Paris. During this time, the company was given its current name Faber-Castell through a noble marriage. Today the company, with production facilities in nine countries and over 8,000 employees, is the world's largest manufacturer of pencils and colored pencils and offers a wide range of stationery and stationery items. The company attaches great importance to social and ecological sustainability. Since 2010, 95 percent of the wood used has also been certified according to the strict FSC requirements and thanks to the company's own forests, Faber-Castell is one of the few companies in the writing instrument industry to be certified as climate-neutral.
