Faber, Eberhard

▪ German businessman
also called  John Eberhard Faber 
born Dec. 6, 1822, Stein, Bavaria [Germany]
died March 2, 1879, New York, N.Y., U.S.

      German businessman who, with his brother Lothar (Faber, Lothar von), expanded his family's pencil company into a global art supplies enterprise.

      Faber moved to the United States in 1849 and built a manufacturing plant in 1861, the first large-scale American pencil factory, to serve an American market previously supplied by exports from his brother's plant in Europe. The Eberhard Faber Pencil Company was incorporated in 1898. Although the German and American branches of the company split in 1903, the two were reunited in 1987 under the name Faber-Castell.
