Maybe we mean the same... so I report directly the Penna's article...

 

Aurora acquires Firma and Nettuno

Aurora has bought Firma and its two brands, Firma and Nettuno. As Aurora general manager Cesare Verona points out, with this move the Turin-based pen maker is making a statement about its faith in the Italian market and the importance of business values based on tradition and family-run enterprise.

The Nettuno-Firma product range currently includes three limited edition and three standard collections. The new owner will be focusing on the Trident and Barracuda lines, both hightly innovative writing instruments with unusual designs inspired by Nature.

 

Ok, in this case you are right! I would need to update my info then! Thank you for your note.

 

hi diplomat,

thank you very much for your post!

At the homepage of Aurora there is a press release relating Nettuno, perhaps it is more exact.

I don't think the nibs of Montegrappa are made in Hamburg. I think they are also made by Bock.

Best regards

Dirk

 

Well, yes, I don't have any proof, it's just inducted by the fact that they are in the same group. But in the end of the day, there is not direct connection between MontBlanc and Montegrappa, they are just "members" of the same holding grup, as it is for Cartier. Then, possibly you are right...

 

Cheers and thanks!

Hi Diplomat,

Delta has its factory in Parete which is in Caserta county, not in Naples. Anyway, I do not know if they have an office in Napoli.

 

Ciao
