Derwent has a long and distinguished history, and we're naturally very proud of it. At the same time, however, we have a reputation for innovative products that excite and inspire artists worldwide.
Derwent has a long and distinguished heritage, stretching back to the discovery of graphite in the Borrowdale area in the early 1500s. Our pencils have been made in Cumbria since 1832 and generations of local craftsmen have used their unique skills to perfect the art of pencil making.
We are very proud of our heritage because it has made us who we are today. The expertise we have gained over so many years has enabled us to develop the finest range of art materials in the world and we're even more proud of that.
Our past is very important to us and has helped make us the world leading company we are today. However, our future looks brighter still as we develop more exciting new products and improved manufacturing techniques. Our vision is to continue to innovate in everything we do while at the same time respecting our heritage.
As ever, it is our staff who will take us forward in our vision. Derwent may be an internationally renowned art materials manufacturer, but we are also a major local employer. We take equal pride in both roles.
