Two advances in the 1950s were of particular importance to the success of the company - the wickless safety burner and the Fondue Bourguignonne. The pioneering work achieved in these years led to the concept of ‘cooking at the table’ and this theme has enjoyed an almost unequalled success all over the world.

In 1978, the Firestar safety burner was developed - a burner system with a patented slide for flame adjustment and a smut-free, clean fuel paste. Firestar improved the comfort of the Spring rechauds because of its easy and safe use and this put them ahead of other competition in the market.
