Candles represent to mankind one of the most ancient and practical illumination forms. A candle excellence depends on the wick nature, but above all on its combustible nature. The candle structure and composition have evolved through the centuries, starting with torches of low combustible material, through beeswax candles, up to the paraffin wax candles that are commonly utilized in our days.

Four different candle types are currently manufactured in Mexico:

• Glass candles.
• Candles manufactured in molding machines.
• Ornamental candles.
• Candles elaborated in layers.

The most suitable wax is selected in accordance with the quality specifications for the candle type to be produced.
