Training and Consulting Services

Village Chandler Training

In an effort to reach out to customers and clientele, monthly training courses are held in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, hosted by SoyaWax founder Michael Richards. Since this is the "birthplace" of the global soy wax industry, during the last several years SoyaWax has had several hundred candle producers from all 50 states, Canada and several other nations attend our training course.

In the training course we outline the history of SoyaWax, the uses and applications for container and votive mold wax, and review general and specific information relating to the industry and future trends. Time is also allocated to participant questions and discussion. If you are interested in attending classes please contact us for additional information.
