Schmincke is a German company that produces pastels. The company only uses the purest medium fine ground artists' pigments, which are in the highest possible concentration. Contrastingly, the binding agent content is kept to a minimum, which ensures a stable compound. In order to guarantee the highest quality, Schmincke manufactures its pastels using special recipes that avoid the use of machinery. The process of manufacturing Schmincke pastels is time-consuming and expensive, but it is the only way the company can guarantee homogenous quality and smoothness in all the production cycles.
They contain only the purest medium fine ground artists' pigments, which are in the highest possible concentration. Contrastingly, the binding agent content, is kept to a minimum, which ensures a stable compound. In order to guarantee the highest quality it is necessary to manufacture Schmincke pastels using special recipes which avoid the use of machinery during manufacture. 'Worm extruders' form the pre-kneaded dough into round skeins, which are then detached by hand and cut in a wirestrung frame. The damp sticks have to dry for around eight days before they can be labelled and packed by hand. This is a costly and time consuming process, however it is the only way Schmincke can guarantee homogenous quality and smoothness in all the production cycles.
