Origin Story: Titanium Heritage

Yukio Yamai founded Snow Peak as a climbing equipment company and established deep connections with the metalworkers in his hometown of Tsubame-Sanjo. When the Snow Peak expanded into the camping industry, it maintained its commitment to craft.  

No product line better embodies the spirit of metalworking craftsmanship than Snow Peak’s titanium line. The simple and elegant pots, mugs, tableware and utensils exemplify our design ethos and dedication to quality manufacturing processes.  

Titanium is a notoriously difficult metal to work with. It does not easily flatten and requires a highly technical process. Fortunately, Snow Peak’s titanium collection was born in Tsubame-Sanjo, known locally in Japan as the metalworking capital for its storied history of finely craftsmanship.  

The skilled metalworkers in Tsubame-Sanjo have generations of experiences and have perfected their practice. They not only understand the extremely finicky manufacturing process, but they also have the experience, intuition, and eye to detect even the smallest defect during production. Their expertise ensures machines are finely tuned for any adjustments that may be needed along the way. Snow Peak titanium products are unique in their enduring quality, beautiful finish and seamless construction.

Snow Peak’s titanium collection is known for longtime staples like the Titanium Spork, Titanium Double Wall 300 Mug and the Trek 1400 Titanium cookset.

However recent additions to the line have proved to be just as popular as the originals. The Titanium Chopsticks, the Titanium Aurora bottle 800 and Titanium Flask offer the same enduring quality in new shapes and varieties.  

 

Titanium pieces are often favoured by backpackers for their ultralight qualities. However, Snow Peak designs each titanium item to be beautifully minimalist, so they easily integrate into day-to-day life. Titanium is corrosion-resistant and flavour neutral, making it a convenient and reliable choice for wherever adventure takes you.
