L'azienda è sempre stata presente sul mercato utilizzando una serie di diversi marchi, il primo di questi, [[Electa]] ({{Marchio|46322}}), era riservato alla produzione di punta. Oltre a questo marchio (con la variante ''Electa Extra'') l'altro marchio principale usato dall'azienda era ''[[Regina]]'' ({{Marchio|46324}}), a questi si univano i marchi ''[[Balilla]]'' ({{Marchio|46323}}, confermato da una pubblicità del 1931/32), ''[[Gloria]]'' ({{Marchio|60704}}), e ''Topolino'' ({{Marchio|49345}}) per la produzione di fascia più bassa.   

The company has always been present on the market using a number of different brands name, the first of these, [[Electa]] ({{Marchio|46322}}), was reserved for the first tier production. In addition to this brand (with the variant ''Electa Extras''), the other main brand name used by the company wes ''[[Regina]]'' ({{Marchio|46324}}). In addition to these were used the  ''[[Balilla]]'' ({{Marchio|46323}}, confirmed by a 1931/32 advertising), ''[[Gloria]]'' ({{Marchio|60704}}), and ''Topolino'' ({{Marchio|49345}}) brands for the lower-end production.   

La produzione iniziale prevedeva modelli rivestiti in metallo laminato, rientranti e penne ''[[flat top]]'' in stile [[Duofold]] come buona parte della produzione italiana di quel periodo. Negli anni successivi lo stile continuò a seguire le tendenze generali del mercato italiano, con linee affusolate in stile [[Doric]] (o [[Omas Extra]]) e clip a rotellina.

The initial production models included gold rolled [[overlay]] models, [[safety]] models and [[Duofold]] style ''[[flat top]]'' pens as much of the Italian production of that period. In subsequent years, the style continued to follow the general trends of the Italian market, with streamlined pens in [[Doric]] (or [[Omas Extra]]) style equipped with wheel clips.
