From Instapot to Filling Machine
I started Poured Goods with an instapot that could barely make 12 candles an hour and worked out of a cramped 150sqft studio. Today, we’re pouring 12 every 4 seconds.
Hello, I'm Steven Kocerka – Founder of Poured Goods
It’s been an incredible seven years since I first started this venture—originally just a way to keep my wife’s shop, Declaration & Co., stocked with candles. But over time, the demand from other retailers for a wholesale line grew too strong to ignore.
After experimenting with a few designs, one clearly stood out. It’s now the core of our collection—a simple, modern look that fits seamlessly into just about any retail setting and feels right at home on counters across the country.
Today, we offer around thirty clean-burning candles, all made with soy wax, cotton wicks, and free from phthalates and parabens. They're thoughtfully crafted to be both beautiful and safe.
Alongside our signature scents, we also release seasonal favorites—like Soda Pop, Pumpkin Spice, and Candy Cane—available only for a limited time. You’ll start seeing those roll out again in the coming months.
