Start-Up Enterprises

Handmade craft products are HOT.

MORE AND MORE CONSUMERS ARE LOOKING FOR UNIQUE PRODUCTS THAT DID NOT ROLL-OFF FROM AN INDUSTRIAL CONVEYOR BELT.

By producing hand-made candle or soap products, you offer people a product that is unique and different from the competition. Especially the mechanical, industrial-made competition. The beauty of being a candle or soap entrepreneur is that you produce original, creative, honest handwork which repays itself in satisfaction and turnover.

Gildewerk can supply you with important advice; like what you – as a starting entrepreneur – must pay attention to. For example, we can help you with advice or tips about starting your own company by offering a step-by-step plan on how to start your own candle and / or soap making business.

Gildewerk also offers a complete range of high-quality materials, equipment and tools for small-scale or a larger candle-making and/or soap making enterprise. In addition, Gildewerk provides information, inspiration and training for entrepreneurs who want to master the profession better or want to be sure that their products are up to date and can continue to be a success. Finally, Gildewerk also helps to sell the soap products through the Les Maîtres Savonnier quality label that convinces more and more people about the guaranteed safety of handmade soap products.

Gildewerk’s equipment and basic raw materials for candle and soap makers, in combination with the many additional colours and smells, guarantee the professional products that the fast-growing consumer market is looking for.
