Germany, as a pencil factory. It was taken over in 1978 by

stationery company with global presence.

Count Anton Wolfgang von Faber-Castell had his pencil durability test published in The Economist magazine for the March 3rd 2007 issue. In this test he threw 144 pencils from the 30 meter tower of his
Schloss and not one broke. The Count boasts lesser pencils will break but his graphite is very tightly bound to its pinewood sleeve.
