The main branch of the company remained under ''Lothar Faber'' direction until his death, after that his wife took over the management and then, in [[1898]], the count ''Alexander zu Castell'', who had married his niece. He renamed the company using the name under which its is still known today, transforming it into the  ''A. W. Faber-Castell''. The production, however, remained focused on pencils, and the first fountain pen, a hard rubber [[safety]] pen, is traced back to [[1908]]. The pen was imprinted with the words ''A. W. Faber-Castell'' and given the similarity of its filling mechanism, is quite probable that it had been produced by [[Kaweco]] on commission.

After the death of ''Alexander Castell'' in [[1929]] the company became a family limited partnership. His son Roland obtained between [[1931]] and 1932 the reunification between the ''A. W. Faber-Castell'' and the ''Johan Faber A. G.'', giving life to the actual [[Faber-Castell]]. In [[1935]] [[Faber-Castell]] began to buy shares of the  [[Osmia|Osmia A. G.]], that at that time was between the major German fountain pen producers, taking control over the company in order to have a strong starting point in pens manufacturing.
