Recent Commerce decision could help struggling Ohio candlemakers such as Lumi-Lite
Zanesville Times Recorder – In 1998 Lumi-Lite Candle Co. employed as many as 550 people. Today, that number stands at 15.
George Pappas Sr., Lumi-Lite president, said the decline is strictly because of cheaper, foreign-made candles being imported.
A recent decision by the U.S. Department of Commerce to change the scope of a previous anti-dumping duty order on foreign-made candle products could help stem the decade-plus slide.
