History of Neways

The Neways story began more than twenty years ago, when the founders worked in the chemical industry and discovered that many personal care manufacturers were purchasing potentially harmful ingredients to include in their products. Neways' founders decided to formulate products that they considered safe and healthy for their friends and family members, and soon Neways became a global phenomenon with thousands of distributors dedicated to this same mission. Today, Neways is a privately held company that is approaching three-quarters of a billion dollars in annual sales, with 1,200 employees and more than a million independent Distributors in 23 nations around the world. With state-of-the-art research, manufacturing, and shipping facilities, the company provides hundreds of safe and effective personal care, health and wellness, and household products. In addition, Neways offers a lucrative network marketing opportunity that allows individuals to supplement their income or build a full-time business with unlimited earning potential.
