Brevillier Urban & Sachs

Brevillier Urban & Sachs is an Austrian stationery manufacturer with its registered seat in Vienna and its production site in Hirm, Burgenland. The company traces back to the screw maker Brevillier & Comp. (founded 1823) and A. Urban & Söhne (1848), which merged in 1900. Pencil production began in 1863 and continues to this day. Since 2007 the company has operated under its current name after merging with the office supplies maker Heinrich Sachs KG.
