Bolsius is a family-owned company and one of the largest candle manufacturers in Europe. Founded in 1870 in Schijndel, the Netherlands, Bolsius has been crafting candles for over 150 years, creating billions of moments that bring people together. From joyful celebrations to quiet reflections, from births and baptisms to weddings and moments of remembrance, our candles have illuminated life’s most meaningful experiences across generations.
Our products are more than just candles, they are symbols of hope, comfort, and reconnection. Whether it's the warmth of a flame or the subtle fragrance that fills a room, Bolsius candles help people reconnect with themselves and their loved ones, both in everyday life and in extraordinary moments.
As a European market leader, we take our responsibility seriously. We are committed to contributing to a better planet, now and for generations to come. In 2023, Bolsius proudly became a certified B Corporation. We believe this is just the beginning.
Becoming a B Corp marks a new chapter in our journey of continuous improvement and collective action. It reflects our ambition to leave the world better than we found it, and to inspire others to do the same.
How can we design a refill candle for our existing Cleanlight system that is primary 100% wasteless and secondary 100% bio-based, while still delivering the emotional warmth and meaning people associate with candlelight?
