The company is strongly connected with Sweden, and more precisely – with a small town of Trångsviken, which is the seat of the company’s headquarter and their production plant. Despite the passing years, we may still find old machines from the 1950s (carefully and lovingly maintained) working on the production line next to modern equipment. The production process is constantly improved and perfected, but it still remains not completely automated. One of the pioneers of Trangia was John E Jonsson, who together with his stepfather started a production line for aluminium pots. With the growing popularity of camping and outdoor activities in Sweden, their household production transformed into the production of portable bivy stoves.
