Striving for excellence
STAEDTLER has always been committed to longevity. It applies to the products as well as to the manufacturing processes. Using innovative technology, the long-standing company continuously strives to make its production processes more efficient and to lengthen the service life of its products. The result: Longevity for the benefit of the environment. That’s our promise to produce our premium quality range in the most efficient, environmentally-friendly way with proper consideration for both natural resources and the many people involved in the process. Our most popular pencil, the Noris school pencil, is now even more sustainable and durable as they’re made from Upcycled Wood! The change to how they’re made means we can use reclaimed wood chips in the manufacturing process. This procedure saves trees and gives previously discarded wood leftovers an upgraded life as high- quality STAEDTLER pencils. The Noris Colour pencil range has always been made this way. All other woodcase pencils, which are made in Germany are also manufactured from PEFC or FSC ® certified wood. PEFC provides a guarantee to purchasers of wood and paper products that they are promoting the sustainable management of forests. FSC certification provides a credible link between responsible production and consumption of forest products, enabling consumers and businesses to make purchasing decisions that benefit people and the environment as well as providing ongoing business value. STAEDTLER has also begun switching their core product ranges, including Lumocolor and Textsurfer, to 97% recycled plastic housing. This initiative helps reduce plastic waste and showcases their commitment to doing more with their resources for a greener, more sustainable future. The company is a firm advocate of ongoing personal and professional development and actively encourages all personnel to learn new skills and achieve further qualifications. STAEDTLER continues to be an official UK Superbrand. We were delighted to have achieved ‘Superbrands’ status in 2018 and know that maintaining this accolade will continue to have a positive impact on our business.
