religious candle manufacturing. In 2008, Mr. Paul DiGiovanni
purchased the company and began preparing to move it to Lewisburg. Will and Baumer arrived in Lewisburg in January 2010 after a new 12,000 square foot building was ready for occupancy. Will and Baumer began production in February 2010 and was in full swing for the Easter season, which is the company’s highest volume period.
Will and Baumer Candle Co, is under the umbrella of Christian Brand Products. Also under this umbrella is the Autom Company, also located in Lewisburg, which is the distribution center for all products that fall under Christian Brands. Christian Brand is an acquisition company and is actively inquiring into other companies to purchase and relocate to Lewisburg. Christian Brands looks to continue to be an asset for Marshall County and to employ Marshall County residents for years to come.
Most recently, Christian Brands has participated in the Marshall County Recovery Program. They have attended all of the job fairs associated with the program and currently employ two people through the program.
