Faber-Castell is one of the world's oldest and most prestigious manufacturers of stationery and art supplies, founded in 1761 in Stein, Germany. The brand has remained in the family for nine generations, evolving from a small pencil workshop into a global leader in writing instruments. The specific product shown, the Textliner 48 Superfluorescent highlighter, has a unique manufacturing heritage within the group. While Faber-Castell operates 14 production sites worldwide, the Textliner 48 is exclusively produced at the company's specialized plant in Engelhartszell, Austria. This facility is the group's global competence center for highlighters and ink manufacturing.
The brand's identity is deeply rooted in German industrial history, marked by the iconic logo of two jousting knights, which was introduced in 1905 to symbolize the strength and quality of their products. Today, the company continues to be owned and managed by the Faber-Castell family, ensuring that the legacy of innovation and quality established by founder Kaspar Faber and expanded by Baron Lothar von Faber remains central to the business. The ultimate owner company, Faber-Castell AG, remains headquartered in Stein, Germany, maintaining its status as a quintessential family-controlled enterprise.
