Sfortunatamente l'azienda americana, che all'inizio del secolo aveva ottenuto dei buoni risultati anche negli Stati Uniti, non seppe reggere la pressione della concorrenza dei suoi vicini, ed iniziò un progressivo declino che la portò verso la chiusura, avvenuta all'inizio degli anni '30. Nel frattempo però l'industria italiana della penna si era sviluppata ed in particolare proprio nel distretto di [[Settimo Torinese]], cosa che portò Amisani a dar vita ad una produzione indipendente sotto il nome di ''Società Anonima Penne a Serbatoio Williamson'', società fondata nei primi anni '30 con sede in Via Pr. Amedeo, 12 a Torino.

Unfortunately the American company, which at the beginning of the century had achieved good results in the United States, could not withstand the pressure of competition from its neighbors, and began a gradual decline that led it to the closure, which occurred at the beginning of 30s. In the meantime, however, the fountain pen Italian industry developed in particular in the district of [[Settimo Torinese]], which led Amisani to forge an independent production under the name of ''Società Anonima Penne a Serbatoio Williamson'' a company founded in the early '30s, located in Via Pr. Amedeo, 12, Turin.
