Negli anni successivi la gamma venne ampliata con nuovi modelli come le [[Artus Rekord]], [[Artus Perfect|Perfect]], [[Artus Favorit|Favorit]], [[Artus Ballit|Ballit]], [[Artus Schulüller|Schulüller]], [[Artus Prinz|Prinz]], [[Artus Junior|Junior]]. La [[Artus]] si concentrò nella produzione di penne economiche e funzionali, con una attenzione al mercato studentesco; seppe inoltre spaziare in tutto l'arco degli strumenti da scrittura. Inoltre l'azienda si distinse per la scelta di una diffusione commerciale basata sulla vendita diretta via posta, scavalcando la rete dei rivenditori di materiali di cancelleria. Nel [[1949]] la [[Artus]] venne rinominata in ''Artus, C. Josef Lamy'', ed il marchio continuò ad esistere fino al [[1972]].  

In subsequent years, the range was expanded with new models such as the [[Artus Rekord]], [[Artus Perfect|Perfect]], [[Artus Favorit|Favorit]], [[Artus Ballit|Ballit]], [[Artus Schulüller|Schulüller]], [[Artus Prinz|Prinz]], [[Artus Junior|Junior]]. The [[Artus]] concentrated in manufacturing economic and functional pens, with a focus on the student market; it also was capable to range over the whole field of the writing instruments. The company also stood out for the choice of a commercial diffusion based on direct sales by mail, bypassing the dealer network of stationery and supplies. In [[1949]] the [[Artus]] was renamed ''Artus, C. Josef Lamy'', and the brand continued to exist until [[1972]].
