The three-day event, held at the Salt Palace Convention Center, brought together Melaleuca marketing executives and customers. Hundreds of employees traveled to Salt Lake City to help with the convention.
– I’m just blown away by what’s happening to the company. It’s been unbelievable. People are showing up by the thousands, and we feel really blessed. This is our 41st year, and things are getting better – Melaleuca’s executive chairman Frank VanderSloot told.
During the convention, company leaders addressed a large group, attendees participated in training workshops and new products were announced, like Smart Chews, tooth polish, Simply Fit coconut cocoa nut clusters and bite-sized pieces of beef jerky called Riverbend Ranch Wagon Wheels.
The latest products are part of the 450 items offered by Melaleuca, many of which are made at facilities in eastern Idaho. – Not only do we have great employees because of the great Idaho work ethic, but we have so many folks helping us lead the company, and the community has been so good to be in. I suppose you could build the company in other places, but no place better than Idaho. There is a great work ethic, great leaders, great people, and (the area) is supportive of the business community – VanderSloot said.
VanderSloot launched Melaleuca in 1985 and has overseen its growth into a global business that now generates more than $2 billion a year. Melaleuca serves millions of households and employs more than 4,500 people in 19 countries. Last year, Melaleuca was named one of USA TODAY’s Most Trusted Brands, recognizing companies that have earned the confidence and loyalty of US shoppers.
