Staedtler has been producing high quality writing instruments since 1662. Friedrich Staedtler originally made pencils in Nuremberg, Germany, but it was nearly 200 year slater that Johann Sebastian Staedtler founded what has since evolved into the successful multi-national corporation it is today.
Staedtler is a world-wide leader in drawing and technical instruments. Only the finest leads, woods and metals are used to produce Staedtler's extensive line of artists' products.
