Since we were the very first to develop soybean wax, Chandlers have traveled to our Iowa facility for training from all over the U.S. and Canada. Village Chandler training now goes Global.
This past week a delegation came from El Salvador to complete our Village Chandler training session in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We now have an associate to build our global connection for Chandler training in Europe. At the next Chandler Guild Annual Congress you can expect delegates from all over the planet. We are building a global village.
For those of you that have not attended Village Chandler Training, we invite you to travel to Iowa, the birthplace of the growing soy wax industry. Past participants consistently report that this training day saves them months of trial and error testing with soy wax. It takes a commitment to make this trip, but it will provide you with access to important labor saving skills, product knowledge and crucial soy wax industry information.

These lively training sessions are offered on most Saturdays. Tell us the date that you want to attend. We start the training session at 10 a.m. and go until 4 pm. We invented soy wax. We have 12 years of experience with candle production methods. We share this valuable experience in our Saturday Village Chandler training.
There are three components of our training day:
1. effective production methods for soy wax candles
2. creative marketing strategies
3. direct access to industry materials and supplies
Once you complete Chandler Training, we have soy wax for containers, votives and pillar candles. We have warehouse partners that can also supply you with wick, fragrance, dye, glass, tin and packaging. The growing Chandler network can now serve as your single source candle supply service.
We were the first in the world to invent soy wax. We have taken the time and effort to develop the best. We have invested 12 years of research and development to improve this product for the best available candle performance characteristics:
1. ease of handling. Simply melt wax flakes and pour
2. excellent texture for the best quality candles
3. the very best fragrance throw in the industry
4. consistent and even slow burn for consumer value

Village Chandler is leading a revolution in the Global Candle Industry:
1. We are transforming the candle wax business of the global oil conglomerates into a value added economic activity for the family farm sector and local family business operators like you.
2. We are showing that local Village Chandlers can compete in the market with huge candle factories. We produce great products in efficient local enterprises. In this creative model, candle artisans own their own means of production and distribution.
3. We are transferring candle retail sales out of corporate chains back to family owned local merchants. Since Chandler network members produce locally and sell locally, we reduce the waste of petroleum fuels used to truck standard candle products all over the nation from huge corporate factories.
We are on a mission here:
"Let us provide ordinary people with the means of doing profitable and intrinsically significant work. Our goal is to help men and women achieve independence from external economic control, so that they may become their own employers, or members of a self-governing, cooperative group working for subsistence within a local market. This differently oriented technological progress would result in a progressive decentralization of population, ownership of land and means of production and political and economic power. This new economic structure would result in a more humanly satisfying life for more people, a greater measure of genuine democracy." -Aldous Huxley
Soy wax was not developed in a well funded University laboratory or by a high tech corporate research and development team. Soy wax was first invented by one local Village Chandler just like you. Our own roots as a Village Chandler provide our motivation to assist other Chandlers all over the world to build and lead the soy wax industry. Here at Chandler Guild it's time to Go Green, Go Soy, Go Global.
Welcome to the Bright New World of the Biobased Revolution.
Best regards,
Michael Richards, Village Chandler Founder
