When Help Truly Matters — How We Made Candles for Ukraine
At MINIB, we believe that a company’s success is measured not only by the quality of its products and customer satisfaction, but also by the impact it leaves on its community and the world around it. As a leading European manufacturer of heating and cooling units with more than 25 years of history and customers in over 50 countries worldwide, we also know that great things often begin with simple gestures.
Values We Take Seriously
As a Czech company with an international reach, we feel a responsibility not only toward our customers and partners, but also toward the world around us. Technology, comfort, and stability are not guaranteed — and it is often during times of crisis that this becomes most apparent. Help does not always have to come in the form of grand gestures. Sometimes, it is enough to offer time, energy, and the willingness to lend a helping hand.
Why Candles Matter
A simple candle in a metal container can offer far more than it might seem at first glance — light, basic warmth, or the ability to warm hands or food. Its production is straightforward, yet its impact is tangible. This is why hundreds of volunteers across the Czech Republic take part in similar activities, collectively creating thousands of candles that are sent to places where standard energy sources are unavailable for extended periods of time.
An Experience That Stays With You
During the hours spent in the workshop, we were reminded of how powerful cooperation and human solidarity can be. Each finished candle carried its own story, and the awareness that it could help someone endure difficult moments gave the work a deeper meaning. We left tired, but with a strong sense of purpose and respect for everyone who chooses not to remain indifferent to what is happening around them.
We are proud to have been part of this initiative. Because even a small act of help, when genuine, has the power to bring light and warmth to places where they are needed most. 💛💙
