Paraná Matches

Paraná is a traditional Brazilian brand of safety matches, deeply rooted in the country's industrial history. The matches are manufactured using reforestation wood, highlighting an early adoption of ecological practices in the industry, as seen by the 'Ecológico' label on the packaging. The brand's name itself is a tribute to the state of Paraná in southern Brazil, historically a major center for timber and matchstick production. Currently, the brand is part of the Swedish Match portfolio, a global leader in the production of matches, lighters, and smokeless tobacco. Swedish Match acquired several iconic Brazilian match brands to consolidate its presence in the South American market. This ownership combines decades of Brazilian manufacturing heritage with Swedish corporate management and safety standards.
