The Ronson story began in the USA in 1886, when Louis V. Aronson formed The Art Metal Company. The company patented the world’s first sulphur ignition ‘safety match’ in 1897 and the first lighter, a spark-producing device called the ‘Pist-o-liter,’ in 1910 and the ‘Wonderliter,’ the first lighter to sustain a flame, in 1913.
Ronson sold its international subsidiaries in 1980/81 and released all the international rights.
