The company was
founded in 1985 by Gerhard Wörther. It offers exceptional
mechanical pencils, writing instruments and accessories that
stand out from the crowd. Great importance is attached to the
design and quality of their products. Every writing instrument
is manufactured in-house, some parts are still hand made. Local
materials are sourced whenever possible; the Wood range is made
from local plum and cherry trees.
Wörther was one of
the first suppliers of writing instruments made from aluminium.
The advantages are obvious; the material is not too heavy, and
no too light; it is easy to look after and immediately takes up
the temperature of the hand. Other producers soon followed
their lead.
The founder,
being a qualified engineer and a specialist in mechanical
engineering, developed and built some of the machines used to
produce the pencils himself, and this allows the family-run
business to continue to produce unique products. Amidst large
international concerns, Wörther has found a specila role as a
truly German brand.
