PartyLite and Ohio-based Candle-lite company -- have come together to form the Luminex Home Décor & Fragrance Company. Though the two scented candle companies from the US have different target groups and sales markets, they profit from their combined product know-how, their research and development capabilities as well as their production capacities. Calvin Johnston, the CEO at Luminex, is more than convinced of the new president at PartyLite: "I am certain that Martin will lead PartyLite to continued global success and open new avenues for the company".
