| Faber-Castell is over 240
years old and is credited with
creating the first branded
writing implement in 1840
establishing standards for
length, diameter, and lead
hardness for pencils. The
company opened its first
foreign branches in 1849 in
New York, London, and Paris.
Faber-Castell manufactures at
15 locations around the world
and markets their products
through 19 sales
organizations. Their location
in Brazil is the largest factory
for graphite and color pencils
in the world. A writing
instrument from the
Faber-Castell Collection is the
ideal answer to the old
question of whether it is
better to give something
practical or something
beautiful. These objects
satisfy both criteria in that
they are very useful and
equally attractive. Even the
gift boxes measure up well
and will survive long after the
brief moment when the
present changes hands; they
continue to give useful service
and remind the recipient that
the worthwhile gifts are the
lasting ones. |
