Petromax High-Pressure Lamp

Petromax is a legendary German brand originally founded by Max Graetz in 1910. The brand became world-famous for its high-pressure kerosene lamps, which were utilized for lighting in commercial, military, and private settings. The technology was patented at the beginning of the 20th century and remains a symbol of durability and classic engineering.

In recent years, the brand was revitalized and expanded its portfolio significantly beyond lighting. Under its current ownership, Petromax has expanded into high-quality outdoor cookware, cast-iron products, and survival gear. While the historical flagship lamps are still associated with German engineering, many specialized cast-iron items and accessories are sourced through international partners, while core design and high-end assembly remain centered in Germany.

The brand is currently owned by Pelam International, based in Magdeburg, Germany. This company has successfully positioned Petromax as a premium lifestyle brand for bushcraft enthusiasts, outdoor chefs, and historical collectors alike.
