The Clipper brand, recognized for its iconic round shape and refillable functionality, was founded in Barcelona, Spain, in 1972 by Flamagas S.A. It has since become one of the most recognizable lighter brands globally, particularly among consumers who value sustainability and the unique removable flint feature that can be used as a packing tool.

Flamagas S.A., a Spanish company, remains the original and ultimate owner of the brand. While the brand has deep Spanish roots and maintains significant manufacturing operations in Barcelona, production has expanded globally to meet international demand, with facilities also located in countries like China and India. The Retro design series is a popular aesthetic variation of the classic Clipper lighters used to appeal to collectors and enthusiasts alike.
