About Liljeholmens Stearinfabrik

When you choose a stearin candle from Liljeholmens Stearinfabrik, you’ve made a great choice—Liljeholmens stearin candles are Swan-labeled and have been made in Sweden since 1839. When Liljeholmens began manufacturing stearin candles in 1839, knowledge, methods, and machinery were brought in from other countries. At the factory in Oskarshamn, operations have evolved and been refined over the years—and as a result, the candles’ fine quality has continuously improved. The manufacturing method and craftsmanship are fundamentally the same as they were over 180 years ago. We carry with us every day the knowledge of how to best utilize the properties of stearin. To produce stearin candles of the highest quality, experienced staff with extensive expertise and carefully selected raw materials are essential. For us, this is always the starting point for improvements in production and the development of new products.Read their story
