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.

Alla morte di ''Alexander Castell'' nel 1929 l'azienda divenne una società in accomandita familiare. Il figlio Roland realizzò fra il 1931 ed il 1932 la riunificazione fra la ''A. W. Faber-Castell'' e la ''Johan Faber A. G.'' dando vita alla [[Faber-Castell]] di oggi. Nel 1935 la [[Faber-Castell]] iniziò ad acquistare le azioni della ''Osmia A. G.'', all'epoca uno dei principali produttori tedeschi, assumendone il controllo per poter avere un forte punto di appoggio nell'industria della produzione di stilografiche.

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.

Nonostante l'acquisizione della [[Osmia]] la [[Faber-Castell]] produsse direttamente anche qualche modello, nel 1936 produsse un modello con il suo stesso nome inciso su tutte le parti della penna, disponibile in quattro colori; la penna era dotata di [[caricamento a stantuffo]] e di finiture (clip e veretta) in oro 14k e portava il logo dell'azienda, una bilancia che rappresentava l'integrità sul piano commerciale.
