Staedtler SE (German pronunciation: [ˈʃtɛtlɐ]) is a German multinational stationery manufacturing company based in Nuremberg. The firm was founded by J.S. Staedtler (1800–1872) in 1835 and produces a large variety of stationery products, such as writing implements (including technical drawing instruments),[1] art materials, and office supplies.

Staedtler claims to be the largest European manufacturer of wood-cased pencils, overhead projector pens, mechanical pencils, leads, erasers, and modelling clays.[2] Staedtler has over 26 global subsidiaries and nine manufacturing facilities.[3][4] Almost two thirds of the production take place in the four production facilities in Nuremberg, Germany,[4] though some of its products are made in Japan. Its "Noris" line of pencils is extremely common in British schools.[5]
