 Silva – Outdoor Navigation Pioneers...

Silva – Outdoor Navigation Pioneers since 1933

85 Years of Innovation History for Adventure

Silva was founded in 1933 by three brothers - Alvar, Arvid and Björn Kjellström, all passionate orienteers. Together with engineer Gunnar Tillander, they revolutionized navigation with the first liquid-filled compass that surpassed all previously available models in accuracy.

From Compass Innovation to Diverse Outdoor Range

The Liquid-Filled Compass Milestone

In 1933, the Kjellström brothers invented the first liquid-filled compass, which proved to be the superlative among compasses and laid the foundation for Silva company. This groundbreaking innovation established Silva as the world's leading compass manufacturer.

Continuous Product Development

Following the compass success, the first headlamp was produced in the founding year. Today, Silva's range includes pedometers, LED lights for bicycles, sports and adventure equipment, and high-quality outdoor gear.
