A. W. Faber, founded by Kaspar Faber in Stein, Germany, in 1761, is one of the world’s oldest pencil manufacturers and a pioneer in the development of modern writing instruments. Under the leadership of later generations, particularly Lothar von Faber in the 19th century, the company revolutionized pencil production by standardizing lengths, grades, and quality, setting international benchmarks that shaped the industry. Branded as A. W. Faber after Kaspar’s grandson Anton Wilhelm Faber, the firm became renowned for its precision, craftsmanship, and global reach, exporting pencils and other stationery across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Today, as part of Faber-Castell, the name remains associated with innovation, tradition, and excellence in fine writing tools.
