Faber-Castell - Innovation from Tradition. The origins of Faber-Castell date back to 1761, when carpenter Kaspar Faber began producing pencils in Stein near Nuremberg, which his wife sold at the Nuremberg market. By the 19th century, the foundation for conquering the global market was laid with branches in trade metropolises like New York and Paris. During this time, the company also received its current name, Faber-Castell, through a noble marriage. Today, the company is the world's largest manufacturer of graphite and colored pencils, with production facilities in nine countries and over 8,000 employees, offering a wide range of stationery and paper products. The company places great importance on social and ecological sustainability. Since 2010, 95 percent of the wood used has been certified according to strict FSC standards, and thanks to the company-owned forests, Faber-Castell is recognized as one of the few companies in the writing instrument industry as climate-neutral. FSC-certified (responsible forest management). FSC stands for "Forest Stewardship Council." It is an international certification system for more sustainable forest management. The wood used in furniture, toys, books, school notebooks, or pencils with the FSC label comes from responsibly managed forests. There are ten globally applicable principles that must be adhered to by all FSC standards in various countries. Forests and plantations that are FSC-certified are managed according to stricter ecological and social principles, contributing to the long-term preservation of forests.
