Micador Oil Pastels

Micador is a prominent Australian education and art supplies brand with a history dating back to 1952. Founded by Michael Dorn, the company remains a family-owned enterprise headquartered in Melbourne, Victoria. While the brand is proudly Australian-born and maintains its design and administrative operations locally, its manufacturing is primarily outsourced to partners in China to leverage specialized production facilities for art mediums.

Today, the Micador Group remains independent under the leadership of the third generation of the Dorn family. The brand has expanded significantly from its origins in the Australian school market to become a global supplier of art materials, crafts, and educational tools, focusing on quality and accessibility for both children and professional artists alike.
