SPC History
Soy Pure Candles was founded in 2005 by a husband and wife team who believe that we, as a society, are exposed to an abundance of toxins in our day-to-day environment. The hospitality industry seemed like a perfect example of such exposure. Restaurant patrons and servers are constantly in an enclosed environment where many candles burn. After much research, a non-toxic substitute for regular paraffin candles was found: SOY WAX!
After some experimentation and a great deal of consultation with the industry's leaders, Soy Pure Candles developed a votive candle. A year and a half later, Soy Pure Candles developed a 100% soy-based tea light candle that the hospitality industry could use. Late in 2007, Soy Pure Candles developed the industry's' first substitute for liquid paraffin oil users, a soy-based disposable candle system (DCS).
Soy Pure Candles can be found in restaurants all over Ontario and Quebec and are now starting to serve the entire North American hospitality market, from small family restaurants to large chain restaurants and hotels.
