The ''Ditta Luigi Pagliero'' company, later renamed ''Fratelli Pagliero'' and then ''Luigi Pagliero e F.'' was founded by ''Luigi Pagliero'' in [[1917]] in Settimo Torinese, as a company working various materials (bone, horn, tortoiseshell, mother of pearl) for the production of everyday objects (buttons for the most part, but also combs, mouthpieces for pipes, etc..). With the fountain pens production boom of the '20s it was not too difficult for the company, which had already the necessary type of working machinery, to start producing and processing pens or parts of pens on behalf of other companies.<ref>Letizia Jacopini in his book of reports relations with [[Aurora]] and with the ''Giacomazzi'' company in Settimo.</ref>

Fountain pens production by Pagliero is believed to have started in the '20s with the use of [[celluloid]], which was also used for the buttons and some of the other objects produced by the compan. It became the main company product only since the '30s. The company's choice was, however, to address the economic production of mid-range pens or even committed production for other companies or for promotional purposes, focusing on the expansion with a very wide distribution network.
