A new chapter in the SoyaWax story...

SoyaWax received EDC award...SoyaWax International is on the move! The next steps in the evolution of our business will be as revolutionary as when our founder, Mike Richards, invented soywax, an innovation that rocked the candle industry. We are hard at work on a series of initiatives that will move us beyond the Great Flood of 2008 and propel us boldly into the future.

SoyaWax International will take bold actions to create new jobs and launch new products as we do our part to contribute to the recovery of Cedar Rapids and the Iowa economy. Like so many small businesses in the U.S., we will do our best to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem as we all pull together to redirect and revive our national and global economies.
