ABITEC’s broad candle base range and specialty oils ABITEC Corporation offers vegetable-based, renewable ingredients for Today, a candle is more than a source of light; its warm glow symbolizes a celebration, budding romance, or defines a ceremony. Consumers are increasingly purchasing candles to use as a focal point for their home décor, as well as for aromatherapy-like relaxation and stress reduction. These uses are reflected in what consumers consider the most important factors in their purchasing decision, including fragrance, color, design, eco-friendliness, and cost. Candles have been used for thousands of years and up until the early part of the 20th century were the primary source for portable, artificial light. Original candles were produced through a dipping method, dating back to the Middle Ages. It was not until the 1830’s that large-scale manufacturing of candles became a reality. Modern machines are similar to the first machines with the only differences being increased speed, higher accuracy, and greater quality.
