Fiskars, who owns Gerber, now owns the Swedish company named Silva, which in turn owned the U.S. company Brunton. They are all one big company now.

Check out http://www.fiskars.fi/business/index.html

Johnson Outdoors owns the U.S. registered trademark for "Silva". This trademark ownership does not impact labeling outside of the U.S.

I don't know who makes the U.S. "Silva" compasses. Some have said it is Suunto, but I've seen no proof of that.


Ken-
I stand corrected and a still little confused. I'm going to have a chat with the sales rep for Silva/Johnson Outdoors for additional info.

BTW, Most, but not all, of the Silvas on our shelf are manufactured in Indonesia according to the package.

Thanks.
