In 2005, the company was acquired by F.I.L.A., a manufacturer of school and art supplies based in Milan, Italy, and announced the closure of its main US factory in Versailles, Missouri.

The company retains a distribution center in Georgia, where it makes limited numbers of pencils in order to claim status as a domestic producer,[4] and a headquarters facility in Heathrow, Florida.
