Hardtmuth (or "L & C Hardtmuth"), more commonly known as "Koh-i-Noor Hardtmudt", is a historic producer of pencils and office supplies that was founded in 1790 by Joseph Hardtmudt, which in 1802 patented the first pencil made of clay and coal. Born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the company was transferred from the sons of the founder from Vienna to České Budějovice, currently in the Czech Republic. The company introduced in 1889 the line of pencils "Koh-i-Noor", called by the same name of the famous diamond to magnify their quality. To distinguish them, they were painted in yellow, a color that from then has become a classic for pencils.

Il nome Koh-i-Noor è diventato il marchio distintivo dell'azienda che era con la Faber Castell uno dei principali produttori europei di matite ed è ancora sul mercato nel campo degli articoli da cancelleria e da disegno. Non sono note fino ai tempi recenti produzioni proprie di penne stilografiche, ma l'azienda ha commercializzato in più casi penne prodotte da altri (in particolare commercializzava in Europa le Waterman), talvolta anche con marchio proprio.
