Translations:Faber-Castell/5/en

In the mid of 1800 Faber-Castell was already a large international company, directed by Lothar von Faber with the help of its brothers Johan and Eberhard Faber. Both Eberhard and Johan created their own companies, the first in New York, where he went to direct the U.S. subsidiary of the mother company, who in 1861 founded in Brooklin the Eberhard Faber Pencil Co., always producing pencils, the second in Nuremberg, where in 1879 he founded a personal company, which in 1885 became a family limited partnership, the Johan Faber A. G. With Eberhard Faber's death in 1879 his company passed to his sons and his brother Lothar.
