Primus, born in a blacksmith's workshop in Stockholm in 1892 thanks to F.W. Lindqvist and J.V. Svenson, is famous for creating the first soot-free kerosene stove. The name Primus, meaning "first", quickly became synonymous with reliability. Primus stoves were chosen for legendary expeditions, such as Roald Amundsen's to the South Pole in 1911 and the ascent of Everest by Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary in 1953. From its beginnings, Primus has embodied innovation and trust in extreme adventures.
