In Belgium, match manufacturing began in 1855. Union Allumetière was founded in Geraardsbergen in 1912, when eight Belgian factories merged. Union Match has been the best-selling brand of matches in Belgium ever since. The yellow box with three flames is instantly recognized by most Belgians, and is synonymous with quality and matches.
With many different sizes available, there is always a Union Match for the right moment. Our aim is to always produce a match that is safe, reliable and environmentally sound. Our consumers deserve high-quality matches that cannot self-ignite, do not break easily or lose bits of their head on the striking strip.
Our matches are subject to higher requirements than the European standard (EN 1783:1997), and our testing and analysis methods are more complex. Compliance with this standard ensures both distributors and consumers that our matches meet strict quality requirements. The MATCHTEK® standard is a guarantee for safe and reliable matches that are also environmentally sound.
Pocket fire lighters merge the shape of a match with the performance of a fire cube, offering an innovative solution for easily igniting fires. Designed with a match head for the ignition process, these compact fire starters are perfect for outdoor activities like camping, hiking, or emergency survival situations.
The intuitive design with a match head that, when struck against a striking surface, creates a spark to ignite the fire starter material, producing a flame. This convenient and reliable product ensures a hassle-free fire ignition experience, enhancing safety and ease for all outdoor adventures.
