Information for Teachers

Scratchy, difficult to sharpen pencils, 'dry argument' markers with ill fitting caps, gritty messy crayons...Snap, crumble, STOP!

We have all been there and so have our children.

When you choose Faber-Castell products, you can be assured of quality, safe raw materials, good product designs and manufacturing processes - at an affordable price.

We guarantee you'll see the difference on the paper and faces of your young artists.

Our website shows our complete writing, drawing and colouring product ranges detailing products and features/benefits for your evaluation.

The World's native forests are a 'celebration' to the diversity of life and colour.

Forestry plantations help preserve and maintain native forests by providing an alternative and renewable resource for our future generations.

In Brazil, Faber-Castell manages 10.000 hectares of pine plantations as a source of raw material for over 1.5 billion pencils annually. Our tree nurseries produce over 1 million seedlings per year and generate 20 m3 of wood every hour (= 1 truck!). The Faber-Castell forests and factories have been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) as environmentally responsible, socially beneficial and economically sustainable. The FSC is a committe of the world's most powerful forestry experts, including organizations such as Greenpeace and WWF.

Innovation and Learning comes through Listening

Many Faber-Castell product innovations have come through advice from teachers throughout the world regarding the needs of children.

We want to continue to learn through educator knowledge and experience and would be appreciative of any feedback you can kindly to contribute.
