I know Francis has been fairly active on FPGeeks and various other forums continually posting updates to the effect of "they are planning to re-open soon" (most recently here). From this it sounds like their parent company was acquired either shortly before or shortly after the start of the pandemic, but they still retain the rights to produce pens (at the discretion of parent company's parent company...). Notably they were due to restart production "soon"^TM but only limited models and configs with no customization. Seemed reasonable.

BUT! Actually in the course of looking this up I just came across this thread - looks like they are manufacturing pens again but possibly only this one model.
