Faber-Castell is one of the largest manufacturers of writing instruments and office accessories. It is also one of the oldest — it was founded in Stein, near Nuremberg, in 1761, by the carpenter Kaspar Faber, his wife Maria, and their son Anton Wilhelm.
At that time, the company was called the A.W. Faber Company, and it was not until 1900, when the granddaughter of Johann Lothar Freiherr von Faber (Kaspar Faber's great-grandson) married a Count of Castell, that the company was renamed Faber-Castell.
Today, Faber-Castell is still a family-owned company synonymous with excellence.
