==Company history== ===Early history=== The Camping Gaz company was founded in France in 1949. Introducing a small, blue, refillable gas cylinder, directly fitted with special stoves and Welsbach mantle lanterns, the company rapidly expanded to foreign markets. Starting in 1952, gas lighting and gas burner stoves were offered for campers. The company's first portable stove, named "Bleuet", was released three years later.
