The ''SAFIS'' origins have been unclear for long time. It was generally referred that ''SAFIS'' (which stands for ''"Società Anonima Fabbrica Italiana Stilografiche"'') was established by a not better known Mr. Lattes in Turin, remaining active between 30s and 50s in Via Ormea. Recent findings in the Chamber of Commerce records reported that the company was founded in Turin June 23, [[1926]], under the name ''"Società Anonima Pennini King"''. The ''The King''  trademark was then registered by the same November, 8 1926 (see {{MarchioLocale|Torino|1|269}}). It is not know for sure when the name change to ''SAFIS'' took place.
