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.

Nice to know

Did you know:

We process about 3,068 km of wick per year. This roughly corresponds to the distance from Hochdorf to Tenerife.

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.

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!)
