About us
The story of Liljeholmens Group traces the journey of small stearin factories in Sweden and Denmark evolving into the world’s largest supplier of stearin candles, with offices spanning Sweden, Denmark, Germany, and Portugal. Discover our history, our commitment to high-quality standards, and meet our international management team.
Our vision is to manufacture beautiful candles that make life a little bit brighter and to be the customers’ preferred choice. We strive for true sustainability, and we make it easy for consumers to choose the right candles. Together, we work as one team to achieve our goals.
Our higher purpose is to contribute to a better environment by producing only sustainable candles and inspiring customers and consumers to replace paraffin candles. Stearin and plant-based candles are not only better for the planet but also for indoor air quality.

Life shines
We make candles. But not only. Moreover, we make sure to keep an old craft alive and devote energy to spreading light in a country where the winter is both long, dark, and cold. But not only. Moreover, we make parties a little more festive and comfort those who feel sad.
We speed up the romance and help keep it alive. We make people unwind. And emotions to bubble up. We get food to taste better and Christmas to become more enjoyable. We make the summer evening brighter. And the winter night softer. We make the Friday coziness cozier and the weekend breakfast more luxurious.
We make the conversations more intimate and the silence even more restful. We make people forget. And people to remember. We make the candles even more beautiful. And life a little bit brighter. Even when it is dark.
