acclaim. It was so successful,
Amway
continued with its new business model
exclusively in North America.
With its success worldwide,
Amway
retained the
traditional model
in the
rest of the world
and set up different companies to run
operations:
Amway in North America and
Amway Corporation
elsewhere. It also created
Access Business Group
to run manufacturing, warehousing, distribution,
and other everyday operations to support
worldwide sales and
Alticor to
act as a parent company to run the sister
companies. This all from a single successful
company that began as
Amway in
1959.
Today,
IBOs in
North America operate independent businesses
through
Quixtar.com
and
IBOs in
more than 80 other countries and territories
across the globe operate independent
Amway
businesses.
IBOs powered by
Amway are represented by
IBOAI, the
Independent Business
Owners Association International, a
non-profit trade association.
IBOs have
been represented over the years by
The American Way
Association, the
Amway Distributors
Association, and the
IBOAI, all
which have sought to represent the voice of the
IBO.
IBOs
automatically become members in the
IBOAI upon
registering or renewing with
Amway,
and qualified members elect the
Board of Directors,
who serve on various
IBOAI
committees and meet with
Amway executives
and staff to discuss matters of importance to
all
IBOs.
