Ever since its beginnings more than a century ago, Primus has stood for cooking, lighting and heating. Roald Amundsen had a Primus stove among his supplies when he was the first person to reach the South Pole on 14 December 1911. Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay used a Primus on Mount Everest when they reached the summit on 29 May 1953. Every day, all round the world millions of people use our stoves and lanterns. No matter whether you need to cook at the North Pole or in your own back garden, you can count on Primus to work.
Today we export to some 70 countries, which accounts for approximately 90 per cent of our total sales. Every year we put a large part of our revenue back into research and development work. We're continuing the pioneering spirit of the 1890s, when the Primus stove was invented, and we're still developing new products from ideas and suggestions from all over the world.
One of our latest innovations is the environmentally friendly PRIMUS EtaExpress™, a stove for people who are looking for light weight and small size!
