Schwan Cosmetics International GmbH

About

We are a part of Schwan-STABILO. About 850 million euros in turnover. More than 5,250 employees. 37 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 165 years and six 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.
