Where Experience Meets New Design
For over 170 years, the Koster family has been at the forefront of the wax and candle industry, spanning five generations. In 1976, fourth-generation candle maker Richard Koster Sr. founded **Paramold Manufacturing**, one of the first and largest pressed tealight manufacturers in the United States. Today, Paramold remains a leader in private-label and food-service candle production, proudly operated by Richard’s children—Katy, Tess, Rick, and Kim.
In 2012, three siblings came together to create **90 Bourne**, a brand inspired by their family’s legacy. Named after the street where their grandfather built his first U.S. candle factory, 90 Bourne blends decades of experience with a fresh, modern approach to candle design. With over 20 years of industry expertise, they are committed to crafting high-quality, beautifully designed candles.
The Koster family's passion for candle-making shines through in every product, a dedication their loyal customers recognize and appreciate.
