Bolsius Lowboy amber glass candle

Owner:Bolsius International B.V. (Netherlands)
OriginNetherlands
Manufactured:Poland

The product shown is a Bolsius Lowboy candle in an amber glass holder, a staple in the European hospitality industry for creating warm table ambiance. These candles are known for their exceptionally long burn time—typically between 70 and 75 hours—and their wind-resistant design, which makes them popular for both indoor dining and outdoor terraces.

Bolsius was founded in 1870 by Antonius Bolsius in Schijndel, the Netherlands, starting as a small wax bleaching business. Over more than 150 years, it evolved from a family-run church candle maker into Europe's largest candle manufacturer. Today, Bolsius remains a family-owned entity through Bolsius International B.V. and has achieved B Corp certification, reflecting its commitment to social and environmental standards.

While the company's headquarters and heritage are firmly rooted in Schijndel, the majority of its large-scale production shifted from the Netherlands to Kobylin, Poland, following the closure of its Dutch production facilities in Boxmeer in 2021. The brand continues to be a dominant force in the global candle market, selling products in over 50 countries.
