Optimus Polaris Optifuel stove

The Optimus Polaris sequence is a high-performance outdoor cooking system designed for the most demanding conditions. Originally an independent Swedish brand founded in Stockholm in 1899, Optimus became world-renowned for its innovative pressure burner technology and durable brass stoves. The Polaris Optifuel model represents the pinnacle of this heritage, offering a single-jet solution for white gas, LP gas, gasoline, kerosene, diesel, and jet fuel.

Today, Optimus is part of the Katadyn Group, which acquired the brand in 2007. While the brand maintains its Swiss and Swedish heritage through design and engineering within the group's headquarters, production is largely centralized in Taiwan to maintain high manufacturing standards while meeting global demand. The Katadyn Group remains the ultimate owner, specializing in self-sufficient nutrition and water treatment solutions for outdoor and relief organizations.
