KOH-I-NOOR HARDTMUTH is a private joint-stock company which has grown dynamically over the years. Currently, it is the largest manufacturer in this field in Central and Eastern Europe. Austrian Joseph Gartmut, who created graphite from a mix of powder graphite, clay, starch, soot and water, is the founder of the company which all over the world will be known under mark KOH-I-NOOR later.

The company uses the trademark KOH-I-NOOR. It was first registered on 12 November 1894 and today it is protected in 73 countries of the world.
