Research and innovation
The main thrust of our R&D department is to find the best materials.
* In close partnership with our suppliers of raw materials we can guarantee the origin and quality of what we use:
- Mineral wax of EEC origin, without benzene
- Vegetable wax without GMOs
* Perfecting different variants of composition, based on the selection of mineral and vegetable waxes.
* Control of the interactivity between the perfume, wick and colour within the material:
- miscibility test,
- olfactory rendition test,
- adhesion test,
- combustion test.
- ...
All these are decisive points in obtaining a finished product that meets all your requirements.
Quality
For many years, BOUGIES LA FRANÇAISE has been committed to a quality approach.
Quality- Regular checks throughout the manufacturing process,
- Post-production combustion test (length of burning),
- Measurement and control of the weight of material
- Labelling with a batch number ensures monitoring of products
- Use-by date
Alongside this quality approach we pursue an environmental approach to control and limit the impact of our activities on the environment.
- Reduction of industrial waste,
- Managing and sorting waste,
- Management and control of energy, reducing energy consumption
- Reduction of water consumption by recycling
Manufacture
Candle makers since 1902
This long experience acquired over the decades means we now have perfect control of all stages of manufacture.
With this skill behind us, we pursue a policy of permanent innovation.
Pouring
3 pouring lines, for small, medium and large production runs
Moulding
One line dedicated to this type of production: the added value of a “hand-made” product
Compression
Several sets of hydraulic presses. (Compression of simple geometrical shapes)
The wide variety of our production machinery means we can respond to demands for runs from 500 items to several million.
