History
100 years 1925 – 2025
TRANGIA’ S JOURNEY BEGAN IN 1925 when John E. Jonsson and his father-in-law founded the company. In the beginning, they produced household pots used by farmers and workers. The Swedish holiday reform in the 40’ s led to Swedes having more free time, which increase the demand for camping equipment. The company’ s focus shifted from kitchen utensils to outdoor products.
Trangia has since then become one of the outdoor industry’ s strongest brands, both in Sweden and around the world. Generations of scouts, mountain hikers and outdoor enthusiasts have cooked their meals on a Trangia stove. Today, 100 years later, still made in Trångsviken in northern Sweden. Proudly owned by the fourth generation of the Jonsson family.
