The match industry in Honduras was initiated by the Bendeck Family in the 30’s, under the name of Fábrica Nacional de Fósforos Águila. In 1961, two safety match companies in Honduras merged to form Honduras Fosforera, S.A. in order to manufacture and produce safety matches with wooden sticks for the Central American region.

Over the years, our company has been competitive with cutting-edge technology, improving its productive capacity to compete with markets like Sweden in the 30’s and mass markets like India now a days.

Today, it is one of two safety match manufacturers in the Central Americ, maintaining a globally competitive edge in its prices and high quality products.
