About Edding

Edding was founded in 1960 in Hamburg, Germany, by Volker Detlef Ledermann and Carl Wilhelm Edding. Originally focused on producing high-quality permanent markers, the company quickly established itself as a leader in professional and industrial marking solutions. Today, Edding is headquartered in Ahrensburg, Germany, and operates internationally, with its products recognised and trusted across Europe and beyond.

Over six decades, Edding has expanded its range significantly — from its iconic permanent markers into specialist tools for cable identification, security marking, glass writing, and industrial applications. The brand is also increasingly committed to sustainability, incorporating recycled materials such as post-consumer recycled (PCR) aluminium into product construction. Edding's long-standing presence in professional markets has made it a well-respected name among tradespeople, engineers, and facilities teams worldwide.
