Welcome to KUM®

WE ARE KUM® PROFESSIONAL COSMETIC PENCIL SHARPENERS | FROM IRELAND | KUM® COSMETIC SHARPENERS

Making Cosmetic Sharpeners Since 1919.

KUM® is a manufacturer of high-quality cosmetic pencil sharpeners that was established in Germany in 1919 as a traditional family-owned company. With headquarters and a central plant in Erlangen, Germany.

KUM® expanded its operations to Ireland in 1998, establishing a branch plant to meet the growing demand for its cosmetic sharpeners, make-up brushes, and other beauty products.

Our History

In 1919, Fritz Mußgueller and Adam Kleber founded the company KUM. After the death of Fritz Mußgueller, his son-in-law Dr. Werner Lüttgens took over the company. The company is still family-owned and is now managed by Dr. Fritz Lüttgens.

KUM

 is derived from “Kunststoff und Metal,” which is German for “plastic and metal,” reflecting the primary materials used in the manufacturing of its products.

From sharpener to brush

While KUM only produced sharpeners in the early years, many other categories of stationery, artist, and cosmetic needs were added over the years. The KUM range now includes pencil sharpeners, school paint brushes, artist paint brushes, drawing implements, writing aids, erasers, writing implements, color paint boxes and much more.
