For some time the two brands were produced together, the [[Mentmore]] was transformed into a joint stock company in [[1930]].

During the war the pens production was reduced to meet the needs of the war effort. It is reported that the company produced pens for spies with maps and compasses or with poisonous darts. The production resumed after the war also with the creation of ballpoint pens. The evolution of the brand is uncertain as well as relations with the parent company. And today both [[Mentmore]] and ''Platignum'' exist as independent brands.
