Kandela Candles Manufacturing, commonly known as KANDELA, is a Filipino company owned by a millennial couple with 2 lovely babies.
The idea of starting Kandela dates back to 2018 when April, who was fresh off from a 9-year career in the corporate world, started taking on a new stage of her life which is being home for their 1 year old baby and helping with the family’s business by developing & exploring new markets. While at home, she started thinking of other ways to earn for the family, that’s when she turned to her love for scented candles.
Paul, on the other hand, has been hands on with their print & design business and is the one-man graphics & design team of Kandela. His background in multimedia arts & photography came in handy for the couple’s new business venture.
The name Kandela was derived from the word “candela” which is the base unit of luminous intensity in the International System of Units; that is, luminous power per unit solid angle emitted by a point light in a particular direction.
