Why Choose Faber-Castell?
Faber-Castell isn't just a stationery brand—it's a legacy of German precision engineering. Here's why professionals and creatives across the UAE trust Faber-Castell:
- 260+ Years of Mastery: Since 1761, Faber-Castell has perfected the art of creating writing instruments. The company has survived wars, technological revolutions, and market disruptions by maintaining one core principle: quality never compromises. It's not theoretical—precisely 2 billion pencils, precisely crafted, are manufactured annually.
- The Castell 9000 Difference: Launched in 1905, the Castell 9000 graphite pencil remains the gold standard for professionals. Artists, architects, and engineers choose it specifically because the bonding process minimises lead breakage, the graduation of hardness grades is universally recognised, and the performance is utterly consistent. It's the pencil that set the international standard.
- Professional-Grade Polychromos: Not every colour pencil is equal. Polychromos pencils are formulated with high-pigment colours, maximum light-fastness (they resist fading for decades), and special bonding that supports heavy layering and blending. Professional illustrators and architectural firms trust Polychromos because the quality is museum-worthy.
- German Engineering in Every Product: Precision is in the DNA. From the non-slip grip zones on mechanical pencils to the specially formulated erasers that remove without damaging paper, every detail is engineered. This philosophy extends from budget-friendly school supplies to luxury executive pens.
- Environmental Leadership: Faber-Castell received the Eco Manager of the Year award from WWF in 2008. The company actively sources wood responsibly, operates sustainable manufacturing facilities, and invests in environmental initiatives. Buying Faber-Castell means supporting a brand that respects the planet.
- Trusted by Creative Professionals Worldwide: Artists, architects, fashion designers, and illustrators worldwide choose Faber-Castell because results matter. When your livelihood depends on the quality of your tools, you choose brands that deliver consistently.

What's the difference between Castell 9000 and Polychromos pencils?
Castell 9000 are graphite pencils (black/grey) used for technical drawing, sketching, and writing. Available in 16 hardness grades from 9H (hard) to 8B (very soft). Polychromos are colour pencils with high-pigment leads in 120 vibrant colours, designed for artistic colour work, illustration, and fine art. Use Castell 9000 for technical work and sketching; use Polychromos for colour painting and illustration.
Are Faber-Castell colour pencils suitable for professional illustration work?
Absolutely. Polychromos colour pencils are the professional standard. They offer maximum light-fastness (colours resist fading for decades), high pigment concentration, and optimal blending and layering capability.
Are Faber-Castell children's products safe and non-toxic?
Yes. All Faber-Castell children's products (crayons, colored pencils, modelling clay, erasers) are formulated to be non-toxic and comply with international child safety standards. The wax crayons are smooth and easy to apply, and the triangular grip pencils reduce hand fatigue. These products are approved for classroom use and home creativity.
Which Faber-Castell pencil should I use for technical drawing?
The Castell 9000 Graphite Pencil is the industry standard for technical drawing. Available in 16 hardness grades (9H to 8B), with fully bonded leads that resist breakage under pressure. Use H and 2H grades for precise technical lines, HB or B grades for sketching and general drawing, and softer grades (2B-8B) for shading and tonal work.
Do Faber-Castell pens come with refills, and are they easy to replace?
Yes. Most Faber-Castell writing instruments (ballpoint, fountain, and mechanical) use standard refill cartridges, available at most stationery retailers and directly from Faber-Castell. Mechanical pencil refills are particularly easy to swap—push the top button and insert a new lead. Fountain pen refills vary by model; refer to the product manual for specific instructions.
