Scientists from Bedford, Hooksett and Lee listed as co-inventors on patent

Milford, N.H. (March 5, 2019) –  Alene Candles, the leading contract candle manufacturer in the United States, and its team of scientists were recently assigned a patent for inventing a new way to make ‘marbled’ candles with swirls of color. Previously, this look was only achieved when producing a limited number of candles by hand; after years of research and perfecting the process, Alene can now create thousands of candles with this look on its production line.

“Our customers have come to expect innovative solutions with unique artistry from us,” said Rod Harl, President, Alene Candles. “This new patent, and the remarkable candles we can make with this process, is just the latest example of that innovation and exceptionality. Our team is continuing to showcase why industry leaders turn to us to make their candles and to bring their brands to life.”

Alene’s Research & Development team leveraged the company’s nearly 25 years of industry experience and proprietary technology to develop the procedure. They spent two years perfecting the production process, ensuring that the technique could work within the company’s existing production line. The patented process includes ‘painting’ dye on parts of the candle container’s interior surface; after filling the container with wax, the process then calls for using specific temperatures to manipulate how the ‘painted’ dye disperses, achieving the desired marbled look.

Maxim Donnelly of Hooksett, Lilia Morales of Lee and Thomas Donnelly of Bedford, members of Alene’s Research & Development team, are the co-inventors listed on this patent. This is the second patent awarded to Alene.
