In 1922, Robert Strambach become the leader of company and he grew the business. He produced meerschaum pipes and the Calabash pipes, and he developed a system to produce the meerschaum mass (this is a convolut of small sepiolith pieces, grinded down, and pressed together with a bonding agent).In 1974, Edith Corrieri succeeded to her father. She is a master-turner, and today, she is the one producing high quality calabashes and meerschaum pipes in Europe.
The Company produces blocks-meerschaum dressed and decorated with silver, and it produced Calabash pipes with headpipes coloured and economic meerschaum pressed.
