Optimus camp stoves and cookware for corporate gifts
Swedish outdoor stoves and cook sets from a brand that has made stoves for more than a century, now part of the Katadyn Group. Branded with your logo where the model allows and delivered Australia-wide for staff gifts, client gifts, reward programs and events.
A gift that comes out on every camping trip
Optimus is a Swedish stove specialist and has been part of the Katadyn Group, the Swiss outdoor water, food and cooking business, since 2007. Its Svea stove has been made in nearly the same form since the early years of the company, which was founded more than a century ago, and its current range runs from pocket gas stoves to multi-fuel expedition stoves and full cook sets.
That history is what makes it work as a business gift. Hikers, campers and four-wheel drivers know the name, and a compact stove or cook system is something people want but often put off buying. It reads as a considered gift for staff, clients and award recipients, and good gear reflects well on the company that gave it.
A stove also gets used. A cook system packs into the car or the hiking pack and comes out on every trip, and titanium cutlery lives in the camping box for years. That steady use keeps your brand in front of the person you gave it to, long after a standard giveaway has gone. Gas canisters and liquid fuel are not included and are not shipped with gifts, and Optimus stoves are for outdoor use only, following the manufacturer's instructions.
"I now focus on helping brands, agencies and organisations move beyond low-value giveaways toward premium, responsibly made merchandise that stands up to scrutiny."

Figures are Optimus's published specifications.
Multi-fuel burners
The Polaris Optifuel uses one jet for every fuel, so there are no nozzles to swap between gas canisters and liquid fuels such as white gas, kerosene or diesel. On gas it switches between a 4 Season mode for cold weather and an Efficiency mode, and an integrated magnetic needle cleans the jet, even while cooking.
Heat exchanger cookware
HE in an Optimus product name means the pot has a heat exchanger on its base. Optimus says the heat exchanger on the Terra Weekend HE set cuts time to boil by 20 per cent, which also saves fuel. Terra cookware is made of anodised aluminium, and the current sets have a non-stick coating.
Choosing the right Optimus gift
Hikers and light travellers: choose a cook system. The Crux Lite Solo Cook System is 272 g and the Crux Weekend Cook System is 372 g, each with the stove packed inside the cookware.
Car campers and families: the Gemini II two-burner stove and the Terra Camp 4 Pot Set suit people who cook full meals at a campsite.
Remote work and overseas travel: the Polaris Optifuel runs on six fuel types, which helps where gas canisters are hard to find.
Large campaigns: titanium sporks and long spoons involve no fuel, post easily and suit delegate packs and mail-outs.
Fuel and safety: Gas canisters and liquid fuel are not included and are not shipped with gifts, and Optimus stoves are for outdoor use only, following the manufacturer's instructions. Gas models use butane, isobutane or propane cartridges that meet EN417.
Your logo on an Optimus
Optimus products can usually carry your company logo. Anodised aluminium pots and lids can often be laser engraved, titanium cutlery can usually be laser engraved on the handle, and stuff sacks, mesh bags and gift packaging can often be printed. Stoves themselves have limited flat surfaces, so we often brand the pot, bag or box instead. We confirm the options for each model when we quote.
Placement: pot or lid, cutlery handle, carry bag or gift packaging, depending on the model
Artwork: a vector file (AI, EPS, PDF or SVG) is ideal, and we can usually redraw a JPG or PNG
Lead time: our standard turnaround is 10 to 14 business days from proof approval

Frequently asked questions about Optimus gifts
Do Optimus stoves come with a manufacturer warranty?+
Katadyn Produkte AG publishes a 2 year manufacturer warranty on Optimus stoves against defects in materials and workmanship. That published warranty covers products bought in the EU, the EEA or Switzerland, and cookware and cutlery are outside its scope, so we confirm the warranty and support terms that apply to Australian orders when we quote.
Are Optimus products suitable for employee reward programs?+
Yes. The range runs from titanium cutlery to cook systems and expedition stoves, so you can set gift tiers for different milestones. The Svea and Polaris Optifuel suit long-service awards, and cook systems suit general staff gifts.
Can we include gas canisters with the gifts?+
No. Gas canisters and liquid fuel are not included and are not shipped with gifts. Recipients buy fuel locally. Optimus gas stoves are designed for butane, isobutane or propane cartridges that meet EN417.
How should recipients use and look after an Optimus stove?+
Read the instructions supplied with the stove before first use, and use it outdoors only, as Optimus specifies. Liquid fuel stoves such as the Polaris Optifuel and Svea have built-in cleaning needles, and Optimus sells spare parts kits for regular maintenance.
