Campingaz reaches 70
Campingaz celebrates 70 years in business in 2019. It was founded in 1949 by three French engineers Mssrs Colomb, Corlet and Sillon, who launched a unique refillable gas cylinder known as bidon bleu across Europe.
Today the company sells a wide range of camping and caravanning products, based around using gas safely and conveniently outdoors.
These lovely pictures show Campingaz cylinders being distributed in 1958 (left) and on the production line in Lyon, France in 1961 (right). Vehicles and hairstyles may have changed, but otherwise the gas cylinder production methods are very similar today.
