At edding everything continues to shine: in 1978, the group launches its first-ever paint marker with an opaque, paint-like ink – suitable even on darker surfaces. A study by German market research company GfK has revealed that the edding 750 paint marker was the second biggest-selling marker in seven European countries in 2007/2008. First place went to the edding 3000. Care for the environment has been part of edding’s corporate philosophy since the very beginning. The group takes ecological considerations into account when planning products, packaging and materials. A commitment that pays of in 1995 when co-founder Volker Detlef Ledermann is presented with the B.A.U.M. award. Still in 2008, edding introduces its EcoLine range of products. This series includes permanent markers and board markers with at least 90% of the total plastic used being made from recycled material. The range also includes a text marker with a cap and barrel, at least 70% of which is made from a renewable ressource.
