History of the Silva Brand
The Silva compass has its origins in Sweden in the 1930s, thanks to the innovation of three brothers passionate about orienteering who invented the first baseplate compass. This advancement marked a decisive turning point in the field of navigation, offering unprecedented precision and ease of use. Since then, Silva has established itself as a leader in the development of orienteering equipment, expanding its range to products such as altimeters, pedometers, and headlamps, while remaining true to its heritage of innovation and quality.
