Staedtler

Our company history is full of free spirits who put their ideas into practice. It was in 1662 when Friedrich Staedtler came up with his idea, which was free from all conventions. Against the requirements of the Nuremberg Council, he began to manufacture both leads and the body for pencils. In doing so, he abolished the separation between the production of the lead by the lead cutters, and the production of the lead ‘s wooden encasement by the carpenters.

Today STAEDTLER is one of the world’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of writing, painting, drawing, and modelling products. We create ideas that make our products more sustainable, efficient, and durable. In this way, we want to help people around the world realize and share their ideas. To achieve this goal, our currently more than 2,300 employees around the world work on the right products every day.
