For nearly 30 years, we have worked hard to build our reputation as the industry’s leading private-label candle and diffuser manufacturer.

Every year, we produce millions of high-quality candles and diffusers for some of the world’s most recognized retail, boutique and cosmetic brands.

Efficient Artisanship

At Alene Candles, highly experienced chemists lead an on-site research and development team to constantly innovate. Wick gauge, wax formulations, fragrances-we’ve perfected every detail to make the world’s best-performing candle.

We’re world-renowned for our domestic operations, our ability to replicate processes to execute on the largest projects, and our on-time delivery. (We call this “Efficient Artisanship”, the perfect combination of incredible candles made right every time.) Our project management and execution are peerless, no matter whether we’re creating from scratch or crafting a candle to match your existing brand identity. 

Alene’s industry-leading warehouse and distribution network also plays a role, with facilities in Milford, New Hampshire, and New Albany, Ohio, ensuring superior quality control and rapid turnaround for delivery. We also include pack-out as part of our process and can provide full service for complicated label, box or gift set applications.
