april 17, 2021 - La Ciergerie du Sud Est diversifies in spite of itself - source(Les Echos)

  • Investment of 300,000 euros in 2020 to conquer the winegrower market
  • New automated production lines can produce up to 8,000 buckets of kerosene with a central wick (to minimize the ravages of late frost)
  • Seasonal business expected to generate a tenth of 2021 sales
  • The religious business (95% of sales) is in decline, due to the closure of places of worship in 2020 and the scarcity of tourists
  • Brendan Leroy, the company's CEO, had already begun diversifying into the manufacture of 50% beeswax candles for Orthodox worship.
