The ''"Società Anonima Pennini King"'', owner of the ''The King'' trademark was founded in Turin in [[1926]], and even in his later incarnation as ''"Società Anonima Fabbrica Italiana Stilografiche"'' ([[SAFIS]]), is considered to be one of the leading Italian fountain pens manufacturers. Although there are links with the [[OMAS]], at least in the early years, the company is today considered as an independent producer.

The pens branded [[The King]] are of the highest quality, which is why for a long time have been attributed to the most reputed manufacturers (usually [[OMAS]], with which the company had links). They have nothing to envy to the production of the better national and international brands and are of great interest to collectors.{{Infobox_Brand|The King}}{{BrandData|Founder=Giovanni Rossi,Marco Subiglia,Gino Giretti|Place=Torino|Country=IT|Date=1926|Fullname=Società Anonima Pennini King}}

The [[The King]] was founded in Turin as ''The King Società Anonima Torino'' in [[1926]], while the trademark ''The King Superior'' ({{Marchio|38982}}) was recorded in [[1928]]. Although for long time the hypothesis of a trade mark used only for production on commission has been credited, the discovery of the re-registration of the same trademark in the [[1946]] on behalf of [[SAFIS]] leads to the conclusion that it is a single company, apparently forced to change its name because of the the fascist regime policies of forced Italianisation of names.
