The Candlewic Company is an organization that has been manufacturing
and distributing a complete line of candle making supplies for
the past 30 years both domestically and internationally. The family
owned and operated entity is an industry leader in providing the
candle making market with unparalleled service and expertise in
order to assist candle makers in manufacturing products for the
3.2 billion dollar candle market. Candlewic’s manufacturing
capabilities, processing, purchasing, marketing, and sales mix
has allowed the company to service candle makers of all sizes.
The core business is supplying wholesale industrial supplies to
regionally- and nationally-branded candle manufacturers, but Candlewic
also markets retail supplies for the home crafter, industrial waxes
for applications other than candles, scientific supplies, as well
as many other applications involving specialty wax blends.
The Candlewic Company is the quintessential definition of the
American Dream. The founders, Betty and William Binder Sr. started
candle making as a hobby as a fun and unique way to escape from
the normal stress of working while maintaining a family of three
children. What was once an activity for a local Cub Scout Troop
slowly took over the family household and eventually blossomed
into a corporation employing on average 40 employees in Bucks County,
Pennsylvania.
“I remember making candles and selling them in front of
our house as a little boy,” states Candlewic’s current
President William Binder Jr. “I made 15 dollars profit at
the days end. That was a lot of comic books and baseball cards
in the 70’s”.
Today, the Candlewic Company is led by the next generation of
Binder’s who have taken the helm. The two brothers work together
everyday to grow the business and maintain the commitment as industry
leaders.
“There is an enormous amount of pressure to supply candle
manufactures with high quality supplies in this economy,” confidently
states David Binder the younger of the two siblings “We stay
committed to our mission and put customers first as we weather
the sluggish economy. Candle makers have come to depend on us due
to our commitment to them which has helped us through the slower
times.”
The coming years are exciting for the Candlewic Company. Future
plans include building a larger facility, expanding their market
share in the retail sales division, continued expansion in non-candle
industries, and maintaining their global competitiveness for pre-manufactured
wick assemblies. As the future unfolds, The Candlewic Company is
poised to take their business to the next level in the never-ending
pursuit of being the number one candle-making supplier in America.
