The candle is a product steeped in tradition with a long and colorful history. Initially produced by hand, later also by mechanized production processes, candles are now often produced by fully automated manufacturing. The quality requirements of candles are constantly being upgraded to fulfill the demands of environmentally aware consumers for high quality products. Flexibility and competence is a must in order to provide customer-oriented product solutions.

Sasol Wax Americas, Inc., a subsidiary of the global Sasol Wax group, has been a trusted supplier to the candle industry for close to a century. As a producer and supplier of an extensive range of paraffin and other waxes, we successfully meet these challenges. We develop our wide range of candle waxes in close consultation with our partners in the candle industry and with associations and consumer groups. Our customers’ needs are foremost in our mind in the development of our tailor-made waxes
Our fully refined paraffin waxes are processed to be toxicologically harmless. Constant controls ensure the highest product quality. Quality and environmental certifications of the Sasol Wax businesses and our other suppliers in accordance with the ISO Quality System bear testimony to our high standards of quality.

Our focus is on the optimization of the candle manufacturing process – a combination of raw materials, production technology, know-how and communication. We aim to continuously optimize our products through targeted collaboration with candle manufacturers, machine manufacturers and material specialists (e. g. wick, color, and fragrance), as timely, professional co-operation ensures cost effectiveness. Through a continuous improvement process (CIP) we strive for problem avoidance rather than subsequent problem solution.
