Transformation Lights Up the Candle Industry

Feb 19, 2024

When a subsidiary of a NYSE company faced a sharp decline in revenues, George Hamilton was brought in as President to lead a dedicated team steering the company towards a more successful future.

In the face of challenges in traditional markets, a $70 Million glass company recognized the need to explore more promising markets. Discovering immense potential in the glass candle jar industry, the company pivoted its focus. However, existing manufacturing processes weren’t aligned with the unique requirements of this expanding business.

The Company adopted a groundbreaking strategy, transforming manufacturing processes to cater to the specific needs of the candle jar business. This strategic adaptation created the process flexibility to not only allow the Company to seize opportunities in the candle jar market but also strengthen its position in its existing high-volume traditional markets.

The outcome was extraordinary – a resurgence in growth and a prominent presence in the booming scented candle market, currently valued at $3 billion and projected to exceed $6 billion by 2030.

In today’s dynamic business landscape, agility is key to success. Consultant George Hamilton, from Sandhill, played a pivotal role in leading transformative efforts that not only revitalized the company but also positioned it as a major player in a multi-billion-dollar market.  Join us in crafting your success story!
