Marabu Printing Inks and Creative Colors

Founded in 1859, Marabu is a leading global manufacturer of screen, digital, and pad printing inks, as well as creative colors for hobby and craft enthusiasts. The brand began in Stuttgart, Germany, as a retail business for drawing materials before evolving into a major industrial production firm. Today, Marabu is known for its high-quality technical inks used in industrial applications, such as automotive and medical technology, and its wide range of creative products for art activities.

The brand remains centered in Tamm, near Stuttgart, where its main research and development and primary production facilities are located. While high-end industrial inks are predominantly manufactured in Germany to ensure quality standards, the company maintains international production sites to serve local markets more efficiently. Marabu continues to be a family-owned entity, maintaining its heritage of German engineering and innovation in the chemicals and coatings industry.
