Pioneering excellence in direct selling

In 1959, best friends and entrepreneurs Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel started a business from the basements of their homes in Ada, Michigan. The company, Amway Corporation, began as a low-cost business opportunity.

With high quality products and an innovative direct-selling business model, Amway grew into a powerful global enterprise, now known as Alticor Inc.

Alticor has its roots in Amway Corporation. Established and owned by the Van Andel and DeVos families, Alticor has a powerful vision that reflects the central purpose of our organisation, helping people live better lives. Alticor Inc. is the parent company of Amway Corporation, Amway Global/Quixtar and Access Business Group.

Amway's direct selling approach offers three important advantages:

  1. An immediate channel to the marketplace. Amway Distributors market products and services directly to family, friends and neighbours
  2. Offers superior services to customers. Distributors provide personal service, product demonstrations and the convenience of home delivery
  3. An opportunity for anyone to own a business

Among the best-known features of the Amway Sales and Marketing plan are its low entry cost and high quality products backed by the Amway Satisfaction Guarantee.

And, because there are no sales territories, an Amway business that starts locally can grow as large as desired, even worldwide.
