Our Vision

Lothar von Faber


“If a person wants to accomplish something, he must unleash his innate creative potential.“
Lothar von Faber to his brother Eberhard, 31. May, 1869


Faber-Castell is joining spaces where creativity and expression are flourishing, bringing together inspired and inspiring humans from all over the world.


Since humans have had hands, we have been using them to make our mark in the world. To communicate,
to feel, to move from thought to action.
Humans grow through creative exploration and expression.

Every employee is making his or her contribution, regardless of their position or department. We are one team and we will explore new directions together.
