Firelighter manufacturers
Firelighter manufacturers have been producing a range of firelighters for decades with limited innovation.
However, the market for firelighters to ignite wood fuel is growing each year.
Originally, firelighters were chemical based components designed to quickly ignite coal and wood fuel.
Often, such firelighters were used in open fires.
However, as tastes change and the hearth industry changes shape, the demands are now very different.
This brief article aims to set our the key manufacturers of firelighters and what they offer.
Firelighter Manufacturers | Who are they?
We are all used to picking up a pack of firelighters from our local shop or supermarket.
However, we do not tend to consider where they might come from.
The firelighter industry is big business.
However, it is controlled by relatively few players.
For clarity, we have broken this down into continents.
Further, we have included some more recent additions to the industry.
Moreover, we have tried to outline the products produced by each firelighter manufacturer.
Ultimately, we will identify new and more innovative alternatives,
Is there space for them in the marketplace?
We believe so…
However, Hot Box ® Firestarter has been aligned to differentiate itself.
Unlike other firelighters, from many of the manufacturers below, our product is unique.
Designed to eradicate the need for kindling and produce the perfect fire, rather than rely on other components to do so.
Our fire lighter is aimed at users who require convenience.
Take it from us, when we set out on our journey to create and patent our fire lighter, we remained sceptical.
However, as our business develops, and our client base increases, we hope to have found a marketplace.
Ok, so our cost price may be higher based upon a fire lighter in the traditional sense.
Interestingly however, when you consider costs versus both firelighters and kindling, our product is very reasonably priced.
Further, if you value time and ease of use, our product is certainly easy to use.
