Manufacturing, step by step

Every design has its own components. This sequence follows the main stages of our aluminium candelabra production.

Stage 02

Moulds and pressure die casting

Moulds prepared for each component are installed in the casting machine. Molten aluminium takes the shape of the mould through pressure die casting; the cast parts are sorted for the next operations.

Moulds, casting machines and unfinished components show different parts of this stage. Each mould defines the form of its component.

Stage 04

Polishing and surface preparation

Components are processed with sanding and polishing equipment. Burrs and machining marks are removed to prepare a smoother surface before coating.

The videos show operations on a polishing wheel and belt.

Stage 05

Gold and silver-colour coating

Prepared components are coated for the selected finish. Separate workshop recordings show gold-colour coating and silver-colour nickel/chrome coating.

Coating creates the final colour and surface appearance. Gold and silver refer to the coating colours in this section.

Stage 06

Joining and assembly

Finished bodies, arms, candle cups and bases are joined. Connections are tightened and the components are fitted according to the design.

The workshop video shows aluminium candelabra components being assembled by hand.

Stage 08

Packing and dispatch

Inspected products are prepared for dispatch. Carton arrangement and protective packaging are planned for the design and the order’s transport conditions.

The footage shows products being prepared for shipment in Glassy boxes.

Bonding glass and crystal components

Designs containing glass or crystal follow a separate bonding process. Components are positioned and secured with suitable UV adhesive and UV light.

Questions about manufacturing

What is the raw material?

Our aluminium candelabra collections use pure aluminium ingots. Glass and crystal components are prepared separately according to the design.

What do gold and silver finishes mean?

Gold describes the colour of the coating. The silver-colour finish is nickel/chrome based. These names do not mean the entire product is made of gold or silver.

Can I request a custom size or finish?

For suitable designs, dimensions, head counts and finishes can be considered. Feasibility, quantity and production time depend on the request.

How do I plan a wholesale order?

Share the product model, preferred finish, estimated quantity and delivery destination. We will plan production, packing and shipping for the order.
