EFFICENCY & LONGEVITY  

All our products are crafted to withstand all types of conditions, ensuring reliability for generations to come. Built with repairability in mind, spare parts are readily available, prolonging the lifespan of each item. We also prioritize reliability and efficiency to enable fast and effective cooking while reducing climate impact.

innovation test lab

At Primus’ test lab, our dedicated team of engineers operates admist an array of tools and equipment, creating an ideal environment for designing and testing prototypes under all types of conditions. Each product undergoes rigorous series of performance tests to ensure perfection before moving into production. We make no compromises, and no details are left to chance. That’s why each product must undergo inspection by three pair of hands during assembly. As a final touch, our skilled assemblers ignite all stoves one final time before reaching your hands. These measures guarantee perfection and years of reliable use for many years of adventures. 

Material

We focus on thoughtful design and carefully selected materials to ensure high performance and long lifespan, even in demanding conditions. Our materials are durable and chosen to withstand the stresses our products are exposed to. To enhance longevity, we use various surface treatments and select materials with high recyclability, enabling more resource-efficient handling when a Primus stove reaches the end of its life cycle. Our goal is to design products that deliver top performance while minimizing their environmental impact.

Innovated in Sweden - Produced in Europe 

To ensure highest quality we keep our development in-house at our headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden. From design to thorough testing of protypes until ready for production. Since 1994, our Tartu factory in Estonia, strategically located near the Baltic, houses 30 skilled assemblers. This proximity ensures rigorous quality control and honors Europe's crafting heritage. From initial concept to final production, each stage reflects precision and craftsmanship, setting Primus apart as a leader in outdoor cooking equipment. 

DESIGNED IN SWEDEN

Step back in time to 1892, to a blacksmith workshop in the heart of Stockholm. Here, visionaries F.W. Lindqvist and J.V. Svenson invented the world's first soot-free kerosene stove. Being the first of its kind, they aptly named it Primus (meaning 'first'). The name became synonymous with reliable stoves, becoming the top choice for adventurers embarking on both initial ascents and demanding expeditions. From pioneering journeys to the South Pole with Roald Amundsen in 1911 to the iconic conquest of Mount Everest by Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary in 1953, Primus stoves have etched their mark in history, fueling humanity's most extreme adventures, a legacy that lives on to this day!
