Headquartered in Stein, Germany, it operates 14 factories and 20 sales units throughout the globe.

The House of Faber-Castell is the family which founded and continues to exercise leadership within the corporation. These Polygrades pencils were produced in the mid 19th century. Their inventor, Lothar von Faber, would have turned 200 years old this year. Lothar von Faber was responsible for standardization of degrees of hardness, as well as setting the standard for the length of the pencil which is still applied today. Staying as close to the historic original as possible, the anniversary version of the Polygrades are unsharpened because back then, they were cut to the correct shape by the user with a knife.
