Richemont sold Montegrappa at the end of June 2009; the Italian Aquila family or the former owner company Elmo & Montegrappa S.p.A. has reacquired the shares; Richemont retains around 10 %. In Germany Aratrum GmbH (Hemslingen) takes over distribution and service and additionally runs brands like Kaweco, Tibaldi and Marlen. During the takeover phase, delivery delays and a temporarily unreachable web presence occurred; collectors report that Montegrappa goods temporarily disappeared from trade. Strategically Montegrappa focuses more strongly on limited editions and is since then with continuous growth, new product range (including watches) and prominent brand presence (ambassador Sylvester Stallone, appearance in The Expendables 2) again firmly on the German market.
