This year, our company once again supported the annual Dobele Municipality Festival. We contributed by donating candle gifts for the event and joining the vibrant festival parade alongside the community.

It’s a true pleasure to celebrate together with the residents of Dobele and its guests.

The management of the State Revenue Service has expressed gratitude to our company.
We are proud and happy to share this news with all of you—our employees, clients, suppliers, and cooperation partners!

We are proud to announce that Baltic Candles has once again been recognized as one of the Top Employers in the Zemgale region, securing 9th place in 2024!

This year, 7,400 respondents — representing 41% of all survey participants — took part in the Zemgale employer evaluation, making it the second most engaged region in Latvia. More than 80 companies were mentioned overall, and the competition was especially strong.

A heartfelt thanks to everyone who took the time to participate and vote for us!

As part of the nationwide Big Cleanup initiative, Baltic Candles encouraged employees to take part together with their loved ones — whether by joining organized public clean-up events or by making a difference in their own communities.

We are delighted to see that pupils in Dobele Municipality are actively participating in the event “Job Shadow Day 2025”, which offers a valuable opportunity to get answers to their career-related questions and explore professions through hands-on experience.

With the support of the Altum programme “Loans for Digitalisation”, implemented within the framework of the European Union’s Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), a project for the purchase and installation of a new candle production line is being implemented.

The “Dobele Municipality Entrepreneur of the Year” competition awards ceremony took place on December 6 at the Tērvete Culture House.
The goal of this competition is to celebrate and recognize entrepreneurs in Dobele Municipality who demonstrate active and responsible business practices, contributing to the growth of local entrepreneurship. It also aims to highlight their achievements, showcase exemplary business practices, and foster a stronger sense of community and belonging within the municipality.
As many as 46 entrepreneurs were nominated and evaluated. Out of these, 23 entrepreneurs were shortlisted in 9 nominations, where one entrepreneur received an award in each nomination.
In the nomination “Dobele Municipality PRODUCER OF THE YEAR 2024,” the main prize was awarded to Baltic Candles Ltd. We sincerely thank the team for their hard work and dedication, showing that success is inevitable when everyone works together toward a common goal.

We send our warm greetings and best wishes in the form of 156 800 candles to the freedom fighters of Ukraine. Wishing peace and freedom for your country!
Thanks to the Confederation of Societies of Ukrainians “VICHE”, a donation campaign “Join Hands to Succeed!” in support of Ukraine is being organized in Dobele Municipality.
A convoy with the donated items will be leaving Dobele on 11 November, and our candles will also be delivered directly to Ukraine.

On the sunny afternoon of June 21, the magical sounds of traditional Latvian folk music reverberated around Lake Gaurats – the company Baltic Candles celebrated the Midsummer festival with their employees and their families. Traditionally, lighting a bonfire is key to capturing the special festive feeling of the summer solstice.

The participants gathered for a procession to the bonfire site, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. The torchlight procession overwhelmed everyone present and helped them feel the true magic of the festival.

Of course, important Midsummer traditions were not forgotten – leafy branches, Midsummer wreaths, and a festive feast. The participants of the event engaged in fun and exciting activities that made them laugh and rejoice.

One of the central tourist attractions in Dobele is the ruins of the Livonian Order Castle, built in the 14th century. In 2020, the castle ruins were given a new look and have become a multifunctional centre for culture, crafts, and tourism development, named Dobele Castle. Dobele Castle is one of the most visited places in the Dobele Municipality, giving pleasure not only to locals but also the visitors from all over Latvia and beyond.
We are proud of the new appearance of the Castle, and therefore, we offer a new design lantern candle featuring a wonderful photo of the Castle captured in the spring of 2024. The advantage and great feature of this design candle is that, as it burns, the design decorates it throughout its burning time, illuminating it and giving the design various moods imparted by the flame. The candle is adorned with a photograph obtained thanks to the winner of a photo contest – Dobele local Dana Keine-Cine.
