The company began when cousins Edwin Binney and C. Harold Smith took over Edwin’s father’s pigment business in 1885. A Hallmark company, Crayola has called Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, its home for over 120 years. Today, the company’s world headquarters and major manufacturing facilities are located there. Downtown Easton is the home of The Crayola Experience, our interactive brand experience where families can enjoy a day of creative fun and see how we make our iconic Crayola crayons. Under the name Binney & Smith, the company's early products included red oxide pigment used as barn paint and carbon black used in printing ink and car tires. The company's first box of eight crayons sold for 5 cents, and the company took the Crayola name in 2007. Crayola also has offices in Australia, Asia, Canada, Italy, Mexico and the United Kingdom, manufactures Silly Putty, and produces entertainment content through Crayola Studios.

We work every day to create a culture of inclusion – one that grows through sustained action, demonstrates care for every life experience, inspires new products and content, and builds a sense of belonging in which every employee can be their very best. We believe our workforce benefits from a broad spectrum of diverse ideas and perspectives and enables us to understand our consumers better.
