The expansion into Singapore was celebrated at the company’s Coppell Texas headquarters with a flag raising ceremony. The company is thrilled about the further expansion into Asia as they continue to grow around the world.

Entrepreneurs in Singapore are now eligible for enrollment.

Through this week meetings will be held in Singapore at the Grand Plaza Park Hotel to introduce new distributors to the company as well as give them a chance to meet with Mannatech corporate staff. Newly enrolled distributors will have a chance to learn about the products, ask questions, receive tips on running their business and will also receive detailed information about the compensation plan.

Wayne Badovinus, president and CEO of Mannatech spoke about the expansion into Singapore and what it means to the company. “The opening of Singapore is a great achievement for our company as we look toward continued international growth and success,” With our updated computer infrastructure, we are able to streamline international operations and simplify entry into new markets around the globe.”

Mannatech (NASDAQ-MTEX) has provided a mass donation to benefit Houston residents affected by Hurricane Ike on Friday, Sept. 19, 2008. The donation included $10,000 of food and water, in addition to nearly 6,000 boxes of Mannatech nutritional supplement products.

Mannatech CEO Wayne Badovinus and other executives were on hand Friday morning as the company loaded a truck filled with 5,400 pounds of relief supplies for victims. The company worked with State Representative Senfronia Thompson to identify relief stations most in need. Five Mannatech staff members traveled to northeast Houston to help distribute the supplies.

“Having been in business in Texas for the past 15 years we believe it’s important to help fellow Texans in need,” said Wayne Badovinus, president and CEO of Mannatech. “Helping others is a way of life for our employees and represents the heart of our company.”

Mannatech staff selected two products, MannaBears™ supplements and MannaBars™ nutrition bars, to send the children and adults affected by the hurricane.

This is not the first time that Mannatech has been charitable. They have sponsored athletes in the Olympics and have remained active in the communities they represent. While the company (which is also based in Texas) has had a bit of a rough year, it’s great to see that in times of need, Mannatech finds the time to give back.

Mannatech has just announced that the company will soon add another country to their ever expanding family. The nutritional products company will expand into Singapore during the fourth quarter, 2008. Mannatech has had a great deal of success in the Asian Markets, and is looking forward to its newest expansion project.

Singapore is a leading developer and provider of skin care products and dietary and nutritional supplements. It was an easy and obvious choice for the company to expand into the country. Among the initial product offerings will be the company’s premier product, Advanced Ambrotose, in capsules and powders, MannaMatrix multi vitamin and mineral supplements and the PhytoMatrix caplets.

Until a new director for Singapore is announced, business in the country will be operated and managed from the company’s Australian headquarters. Mannatech expects their Singapore office to officially open during the first half of 2009.

Wayne Badovinus, President and CEO of Mannatech is looking forward to the company’s newest project, “Given our track record for global expansion success, we are looking forward to entering the Singapore market where we know there is already an interest in Mannatech products.”Opening in Singapore is a natural progression for Mannatech since we have had success in numerous Asian markets. Singapore’s culture and traditions relative to personal health align well with Mannatech’s emphasis on the combination of optimal health and financial wellness.”

Singapore has a great reputation in the direct selling industry. 11 percent of the populations, more than 500,000 people, are involved in direct selling. In the last few years, the total value of the direct sales industry was reported to be over $300 million dollars.

Dietary Supplement maker Mannatech has just launched a tour across the US where company leaders will visit their associates and potential distributors to discuss the future of the company and building their businesses.

The tour, which will be called the “Whistle Stop Tour,” will travel across 10 cities. Mannatech’s new President, and CEO Wayne Badovinus, will be on the tour meeting the company’s distributors and discuss with them the company and its products. In turn, the distributors will get a chance to meet company leaders and learn more about the products and how to be a successful distributor. Of course in true Mannatech form, the website has no information on the Tour.

“The fuel to drive our growth is energy, enthusiasm, dedication, integrity, action - and most of all - passion. We know it all starts with our valuable team of independent Associates,” said Badovinus. “We all have the opportunity to turn weakness from the past into strengths for the future. Mannatech is a new company - we are moving forward and not looking back.”

Mannatech hopes to provide the tour will bring awareness of the company and promote it as a great way to earn supplemental company, especially during these rough economic times.

The tour will make 10 stops through the end of October. The Whistle Stop Tour will make stops in Lubbock, Texas, Medford Oregon, Branson, Missouri, Seattle, Chicago, Ft Lauderdale, Omaha and Two stops in Canada. The highlight of the tour will be a two day stop in Denver during which hundreds of current associate and new prospects will have a chance to discuss the company, its products and opportunities with Badovinus.

Maybe on the tour they will come across some people who can help them with their dreaded website. Love the company but it amazes me that their site is so bad! Their other site - Explore Mannatech - is so much better than the corporate one. They should ditch the corp one for the Explore one.
