The Eberhard Faber factory was established in 1861 by [[John Eberhard Faber]].

The Eberhard Faber Company suffered a devastating fire in 1872, destroying their first factory which was situated along the East River.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://contrapuntalism.wordpress.com/2016/12/10/keeping-the-books |title=Keeping the Books |site=Contrapuntalism}}</ref>

In 1956-57, the Eberhard Faber Company moved operations from their Greenpoint, New York location (established in 1872) to a state-of-the-art facility in Crestwood Industrial Park, located in Mountain Top, Pennsylvania.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://contrapuntalism.wordpress.com/2017/05/30/the-last-eberhard-faber-factory/ |title=The Last Eberhard Faber Factory |site=Contrapuntalism}}</ref>

The factory would eventually employ approximately 400 workers until 1986, when in a cost-saving move several departments were relocated to Mexico. By 1988 however, the company was sold to [[Faber-Castell U.S.A.]] in Lewisburg, Tennessee, despite an offer from [[Dixon]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://contrapuntalism.wordpress.com/2017/05/30/the-last-eberhard-faber-factory/ |title=The Last Eberhard Faber Factory |site=Contrapuntalism}}</ref>
