Fountain pens production became a major activity in the postwar period, with the production of both high-end and economic pens. In particular, the company was one of the first, indeed probably the first, to start in [[1948]] ballpoint pens manufacturing; the [[1950]] ''Retracto'' model is one of the first reversed point. The company also possessed a patent ({{Cite patent|US|2902978}}) from [[1955]] (awarded in 1959) for a cartridge with a metal ball inside that would facilitate the ink flow. Having established a good position in the new market, the company had a great success in the following years.
