Founded in 1820, Stearinerie Dubois entered the manufacturing industry as a manufacturer of steric acid and candles. The family filed a 15-year patent for the invention of a candle-casting machine which would prove to be fortuitous and mark their place among stermakers and candle makers of the time. Little did they know that the stearic candle would prove to be one of the major technological inventions of the 19th century.
