About Staedtler
Staedtler is a German stationery manufacturer with heritage dating back nearly 400 years, making it one of the world's oldest pencil-making traditions. Founded officially in 1835 by J.S. Staedtler in Nuremberg, the company's roots trace to 1662 when Friedrich Staedtler became the first documented German pencil maker despite a production ban from the Nuremberg Council. Today, Staedtler SE is the largest European manufacturer of wood-cased pencils, mechanical pencils, leads, erasers, and modelling clays. The Nuremberg-based company operates nine manufacturing facilities worldwide, with two-thirds of production in Germany. With €386 million turnover in 2022 and products sold in 150 countries, Staedtler remains an independent, privately-held German company. The iconic Noris pencil range, launched in 1901, features the instantly recognisable yellow-and-black striped design that's ubiquitous in British schools. Made from sustainably sourced PEFC-certified wood with highly break-resistant leads, Noris pencils represent quality and value. The premium Mars Lumograph range serves professional artists and technical drawers, while Triplus fineliners, highlighters, and pens feature ergonomic triangular barrels for comfortable extended writing. Staedtler's comprehensive range includes graphite pencils, coloured pencils (including watercolour varieties), Textsurfer highlighters, Lumocolor markers, Mars plastic erasers, and the 925-series mechanical pencils. The Mars logo, registered in 1900, represents the brand's commitment to quality since the early 20th century.
