Swiss candle production
Swiss-made candle production
in our own factory in Hochdorf
CANDLES - MADE WITH LOVE
We have been producing candles in our own factory in Hochdorf for around 75 years. As the largest candle manufacturer in Switzerland, and one of the most renowned in Europe, meeting the highest quality standards is second nature to us .
We are committed and experienced in shaping the developments and trends of the candle industry. Regular firing tests in our in-house laboratory ensure compliance with our high standards.
Facts & figures
Today, over 20,000,000 candles produced in-house leave our warehouses every year. The experienced production team thus provides more than 500 million hours of candlelight per year.
We use
two modern candle presses and a new extruder for taper candles on a daily
basis. This creates taper and pillar candles in different colours and
individual shapes and sizes. First, all three machines produce white blanks,
which are then dipped into the coloured wax bath and given the desired colour
according to the exact recipe and customer request.
BESPOKE CANDLES
Private Label
In addition to our own Balthasar lines, we also produce private label candles. These are custom-made candles in individual colours, shapes and packaging.
OUR HOMEMADE CANDLE LINES
We are particularly proud of the fact that all our in-house produced candles bear the official RAL quality mark. This confirms the high quality, reliability and safety of our products. (Nevertheless, it is important to never leave candles burning unattended!)
Swiss Made
The Balthasar "Swiss-made" line represents candles that are produced here in Hochdorf. They meet the highest quality standards of the candle industry.
Swiss Natural
With the new "Swiss Natural Candle" brand, we are responding to the modern desire for more sustainable and ecological production. This candle and its packaging are made exclusively from sustainable raw materials and energy.
