Adel Kalemcilik
Adel Kalemcilik operates on the principle, “We never bring to market any product that we would not allow our own kids to use.”
Adel Kalemcilik leads the stationery manufacturing in Türkiye and neighboring regions.
ADEL KALEMCİLİK
Adel Kalemcilik was founded in 1969 in Kartal, Istanbul. Renowned for its production quality, it is the first brand that comes to mind for stationery products in Türkiye. Since its establishment, Adel has strengthened its collaboration with Faber-Castell, the world's most established writing instrument company, following a formal partnership agreement signed in 1995. Powered by this alliance, Adel continues to make significant investments that bring value to Türkiye.
In 2015, the company moved to its new production facility in Çayırova. Spanning 36,000 square meters, the facility produces wood-cased pencils, colored and copying pencils, ballpoint and liquid ink pens, markers, felt-tip pens, pastels, watercolors, erasers, sharpeners and modeling clay.
Guided by the principle, “We never offer products that we wouldn’t let our own children use,” the company conducts an average of 10,000 product safety tests and 30,000 product quality tests annually.
Adel Kalemcilik went public in 1996, and the company is traded on Borsa Istanbul.
