Tres Estrellas Fósforos Largos

Tres Estrellas is a historic and iconic brand of matches originating from Chile. The brand name translates to 'Three Stars' and has been a household staple in South America for generations. These matches are specifically the 'Largos' or long version, often used for lighting stoves, candles, and fireplaces safely.

The global ownership of the brand lies with Swedish Match, a Swedish multinational company that specialized in tobacco and match products. Swedish Match acquired the Chilean operations of Compañía Chilena de Fósforos (which originally produced these matches) to expand its footprint in South America. In 2022, Philip Morris International completed a significant acquisition of Swedish Match, bringing the Tres Estrellas brand under the umbrella of one of the world's largest consumer goods companies. The production remains primarily based in Chile through local manufacturing subsidiaries that adhere to sustainability standards like FSC certification.
