Staedtler stationery products

STADTLER is one of the world's leading manufacturers of writing, coloring, and drawing instruments, as well as high-quality modeling clay. The company was founded by Johann Sebastian Staedtler in 1835 in Nuremberg, Germany, building on heritage and family expertise in pencil-making that dates back to 1662.

The majority of STADTLER products are still manufactured in Germany, maintaining a strong 'Made in Germany' reputation for precision and quality. However, the company also operates production sites in other countries, including localized plants to serve international markets efficiently. STADTLER remains a privately owned company with a unique structure; the majority of its shares are held by the Staedtler Foundation, which supports scientific research and cultural projects, ensuring the long-term independence of the brand.
