Maped, established in 1947 in Annecy, France, initially focused on manufacturing traditional brass compasses. For nearly four decades, compass production was their sole activity. However, to cater to the artistic inclinations of children, Maped introduced a new line called Maped Creative. This line is dedicated to providing arts and crafts supplies for young enthusiasts. With a commitment to serving their markets effectively, Maped strives to produce their products as closely as possible to their target audience. Furthermore, they actively contribute to environmental sustainability, playing their role for the betterment of the planet on a daily basis.
