Schwan-STABILO: Colourful diversity in family firm

About 610 million euros in turnover. More than 4,500 employees. 22 sites around the world. Schwan-STABILO is one of the most successful family firms in Germany today.

Gustav Adam Schwanhäusser laid the foundations for the company’s success back in 1865. He quickly recognised the opportunities offered by the burgeoning Industrial Revolution, obtained a loan of 32,000 guilder from his father, and purchased a pencil factory founded 1855 in Nuremberg. More than 160 years and five generations later, this has become an international group with three independent divisions: Cosmetics, Writing Instruments and Outdoor.

Today, as in the past, entrepreneurial courage, foresight and knowledge of what is feasible form the mainstays of the company’s success.




As a leading private label manufacturer of cosmetic pencils and products worldwide, Schwan Cosmetics counts virtually all internationally renowned cosmetics companies among its customers. Since the first eyebrow pencil in 1927, Schwan Cosmetics has been a major source of innovation and inspiration for the global cosmetics industry. 95 percent of our products can be traced back to ideas and developments that we offer to cosmetics brands.
