About Ronson
Ronson was founded as Art Metal Works in Newark, NJ in 1886 by Louis V. Aronson. The company manufactured various decorative metal wares including bookends, paperweights, desk sets, lamps, miniatures, and other metal crafted items. Due to customer demand, Aronson began to explore the flame market and began manufacturing lighters in the early 1900s.
In 1910 Aronson was granted a patent for a spark producing ignition system named the 'Pist-o-liter' and in 1913 manufactured a pocket lighter named the 'Wonderlite'. In 1928, Ronson secured a patent for the revolutionary single-action 'Banjo' lighter, which offered both ignition and extiguishment in a single push. Through the decades Ronson continued to develop several styles of pocket, multi-purpose, and torch style lighters as well as accessories including lighter fluid, butane, and flints.
Today, Ronson is a member of the Zippo Manufacturing Company family of brands. Acquired in 2010, Zippo Manufacturing Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Ronson Consumer Products Corporation, Woodbridge, NJ, and Ronson Corporation of Canada Ltd.; and certain related assets of Ronson Corporation. The product line continues to be marketed and sold in the United States and Canada under the Ronson name at retailers.
