Katadyn is the Swiss company that has had adventurers’ backs (and bellies!) for nearly a century when it comes to safe drinking water. They pioneered portable water filters back in the late 1920s – their first pump-style filter was developed in 1929 by founder Georg Krause – and today Katadyn is a world leader in reliable, easy-to-use water purification solutions. The brand lives by the motto “sustaining life no matter where,” providing hikers, campers, and globetrotters the confidence to drink from streams or lakes without worry. From the classic Pocket Filter (still sold nearly 100 years later!) to lightweight squeeze filters, Katadyn’s gear is built to endure harsh conditions and deliver clean water wherever your trail leads.
Katadyn’s ethos goes beyond just selling filters – it’s about self-sufficiency and stewardship. By enabling people to purify water on the go, they help reduce reliance on disposable plastic bottles and encourage a closer connection to the natural world. The company also supports humanitarian projects to bring sustainable safe water to communities in need. In short, Katadyn has a proud history of innovation with a purpose: keeping you hydrated on adventures while promoting responsible, sustainable practices globally.
