The collaboration with Clerici continued until 1924, when Zanini founded his personal company, with the name Fabbrica di penne stilografiche e commercio, stampe in genere e riproduzioni opere d'arte.[1] In 1925, the activity thus far hosted in Zanini own house, was moved to Sesto Calende. The Ancora trademark (Reg. Gen. N. 40112) was indeed registered only in 1929. In 1938 the production was moved to Arona, where new plants were created.[2] After the death of the founder, the son Alfredo took over the management, up until 1975 when the company was closed.
