History
Founded in 1915 in Geneva by Arnold Schweitzer as 'Fabrique Genevoise de Crayons Ecridor', becoming Caran d'Ache in 1924. Pioneer in innovation: world's first water-soluble colored pencil (Prismalo, 1931), invention of wax pastel (Neocolor, 1952), and creation of the most lightfast colored pencils (Luminance 6901, 2008). All products are designed and manufactured exclusively in Geneva workshops for over a century.
