Campingaz Camp'Bistro 3 Gas Stove

Campingaz is an iconic brand in the outdoor recreation industry, renowned for its influence on the evolution of portable cooking and camping equipment. Founded in 1949 by three engineers in Lyon, France, the company revolutionized outdoor living with its innovative blue refillable gas cylinders. The brand's early success centered on making gas technology safe and accessible for amateur campers across Europe.

Over the decades, Campingaz expanded its portfolio to include stoves, lanterns, coolers, and barbecues. Today, the manufacturing of the Camp’Bistro series and other hardware typically occurs in globalized production hubs, primarily in China, to maintain competitive pricing while adhering to strict European safety standards. Ownership of the brand transitioned internationally over time, moving from its French origins through various corporate acquisitions.

Currently, Campingaz is part of the portfolio of Newell Brands, an American global consumer goods conglomerate. This acquisition has integrated the historic French brand with other major outdoor names like Coleman, providing it with a massive logistical and R&D network. Despite its American ownership, the brand remains deeply rooted in its European identity, with its central operations and product development often still influenced by its French heritage.
