Schwan Cosmetics is the world market leader in production of cosmetic pencils: the wide range of colour cosmetics extends from wood-encased eyebrow pencils and kohl or liquid eye-liner, to mechanical contour pencils or lipsticks. Our products are developed and manufactured on behalf of almost every internationally renowned cosmetics company. About 3,350 employees in eleven production facilities worldwide contribute to the economic success. The global employer has its headquarters in Heroldsberg, Germany, near Nuremberg, and is represented in eight countries by ten subsidiaries. The three dimensions of sustainability – People, Profit, Planet – are of great importance to Schwan Cosmetics and, therefore, part of its corporate policy. For the international employer, acting sustainably means taking into account social and ecological factors in all company processes, and maintaining financial independence. Schwan Cosmetics is a 100-percent subgroup of the internationally-operating family-owned Schwan-STABILO Group. The family-owned Corporate Group operates in three independent business areas – cosmetics, writing instruments and outdoor equipment – and is, nowadays, run by its fifth generation. Schwan-STABILO which is, today, among the 100 best German medium-sized companies, yielded a sales volume of around 706 million euros during the business year 2015/16, and employs more than 5,100 people worldwide of which almost 50 percent work in German locations. Since its founding in 1855, a swan has been the trademark of the company. The Company's expertise in writing instruments was first transferred in 1927 to a completely new sector - cosmetics. The first eyebrow pencil was a huge success with women. The American industrialist Max Factor was among the first cosmetics clients in the 1930s
