Fabrique de bougies et de cierges, Kerzenfabrik Raemy SA

Raemy SA is a candle manufacturer that continues a tradition dating back more than a century. The company employs six people who produce candles, taper candles, tea lights, liturgical candles, and customized products.

Formerly a wax factory in the 1920s, the factory was bought by father and son Raemy in 1983. Mr. Raemy Sr. relaunched candle production in the 1970s, when the company initially only bought to resell. Today, the company has six employees, including management.
Unique in French-speaking Switzerland, the company supplies parishes, churches, and monasteries. Most of its production and sales are liturgical candles and tapers, with a smaller portion devoted to custom-made products. We manufacture candles of various qualities and sizes, tea lights, baptismal candles, etc., and we also sell incense, charcoal, night lights, and various items for worship.

A company in the "candlelight"

The candle trade in Freiburg dates back to the 1920s. In 1983, the candle factory was taken over by father and son Raemy. Today it has six employees, including management.
In the 1970s, Raemy Sr. began repairing the existing machines. From that point on, the factory began producing candles again. The candles are manufactured using traditional methods. Paraffin, beeswax, and stearin are used as base materials.
As the only candle factory in western Switzerland, we mainly supply parishes, churches, and monasteries. The majority of our production consists of liturgical candles, votive candles, and powder candles. However, we also sell to private individuals, whom we advise and serve in our retail store.

We sell our products directly to the public.
