In the 1840s Henri bought Béthune's share and entered a partnership with his brothers Charles, Hippolyte and Louis Charles, trading as 'Typographie des Abeilles, Plon frères & Cie'. Mostly a printing firm, started publishing activities in 1852. In the 1850s the firm obtained the title of 'Libraire-imprimeur de l'Empereur'. In 1873 Henri's son Eugène (1836-1895) formed a partnership with Louis Robert Nourrit and Émile Perrin as Plon, Nourrit & Cie. Perrin left in 1883. After Eugène's death the firm focused on publishing under the direction of Pierre Mainguet and Henri Joseph Bourdel. In the beginning of the 20th century Plon, Nourrit &Cie became Librairie Plon . After the war Plon was bought by Presses de la Cité and merged with Perrin to form Editions Plon-Perrin in 1992. In 2005 Plon and Perrin were split.
