Faber-Castell Pens
Tradition and Progress
The brand started with humble beginnings in 1761 when the craftsman Kaspar
Faber started making the first Bleyweissstift pencils in a small workshop
near Ansbach in Germany. In 1840 Lothar von Faber lent his name to the pencils
and set standard lengths, diameters and grades of lead hardness that are
still in use today. The lead pencils were transformed into a high quality
product and became the first branded writing implements in the world. In
1849 Faber were the first German pencil manufacturer to venture across the
Atlantic as branches were founded in New York, London and Paris.
In 1898 heir baroness Ottilie von Faber married Count Alexander zu Castell-Rüdenhausen and the company took on the name Faber-Castell. Count Alexander gave the company a more modern and unmistakeable image, by creating the jousting knights logo and developing the legendary green Castell 9000 pencil in 1905. This pencil, with its distinctive form, continues to enjoy international success today.
In 1928 Count Roland von Faber-Castell took over management of the company. He acquired a controlling interest in the company Lapis-Johann-Faber S.A. In Brazil, which is now the world’s biggest lead and coloured pencil factory. By establishing the international branches and sales divisions, Faber-Castell developed into the world’s leading manufacturer of wooden lead and coloured pencils.
In 1978 Count Anton W. Von Faber-Castell became the eighth generation to take over the management of the family company. He placed an increased emphasis on new products (including Cosmetic pencils) and expanded the company’s international activities with the aim of positioning Faber-Castell as a global brand. Faber-Castell now celebrate their 250th anniversary in 2011, and are proud to be still upholding their core values of competence, tradition, quality, innovation and creativity today.
