Kristy's journey into the manufacturing sector began with a personal quest to create clean, beautiful candles that wouldn't leave soot in her home. Frustrated by the lack of quality options available, she decided to start making her own soy candles. What began as a hobby quickly turned into a passion, as she recognized the growing demand for high-quality, soot-free soy candles. This realization led to the establishment of The Scented Market. Since then, the business has grown from pouring candles in her home kitchen to operating out of a dedicated manufacturing facility in Guelph, where Kristy now employs a talented team and scales production while maintaining the high standards that inspired her to start this journey.
What Kristy loves most about working in manufacturing is the ability to transform a simple idea into a finished product that people enjoy in their everyday lives. The process of creating candles, from blending scents to pouring the wax and packaging, is incredibly fulfilling for her.
She is also passionate about supporting local artisans and promoting sustainability. Kristy's manufacturing efforts allow her to work closely with local suppliers and artisans, ensuring that their products are of the highest quality and have a positive impact on the community and environment.
Additionally, Kristy values the collaborative spirit of manufacturing. Working with her dedicated team in the Guelph facility, they come together to create products that reflect their values and delight their customers. Seeing their collective efforts culminate in every candle they produce is immensely rewarding for Kristy.
