In 1933, Björn, Alvar and Arvid Kjellström together with Gunnar Tillander invented the first liquid-filled compass, that was the starting point for our business. Not only was it the first compass with that technology, it also set a global standard for how navigation equipment works. That's when Silva as a brand was born. A few years later, more precisely in 1935, we broadened our business area with a new invention, namely the Zeiler headlamp.

Today we focus on three main areas for our products; sports, adventure and professional use. Our products are developed and improved on an ongoing basis, all so that you can enjoy quality products and experience tomorrow's adventures together with us at Silva.
