In 1933, Björn, Alvar, and Arvid Kjellström, together with Gunnar Tillander, invented the first liquid-filled compass, marking the beginning of Silva’s journey. Not only was this the first compass to use this technology, but it also set a global standard for modern navigation equipment.

A few years later, in 1935, the company expanded its product range with another invention—the Zeiler headlamp.

Silva continuously develops and improves its products to ensure you can enjoy high-quality equipment.
