Silva
In 1933, Björn, Alvar and Arvid Kjellström invented the first ever liquid-filled compass, and the story began. Not only was it the first compass of its kind, but it also set the global standard for how navigation works. The SILVA brand was born.
A few years later, in 1935, Silva expanded their business with the first headlamp – the Zeiler. They have since then continued to evolve and set trends for outdoor equipment. The SILVA brand is currently marketed to the Nordic region, Europe, Asia, and North America.
