"Reaching our 10th-anniversary milestone is a humbling moment, and it serves as a reminder of the many people who have joined us to create a vibrant wellness opportunity that we're committed to growing," said XANGO CEO and Chairman Aaron Garrity. "Over the past decade, we've reached millions of individuals through our business and our charitable efforts, and as founders, we've had the opportunity of witnessing real change as made possible by our distributors. Though we've achieved great success, we're far from satisfied and have even bigger goals for the next 10 years."
Reflecting upon the company's first 10 years, XANGO founders highlighted some key milestones:
?More than 2 million independent distributors ?Operating in 43 countries, with 27 offices and 49 distribution centers ?$2 billion in cumulative revenues ?More than 100 millionaires created, averaging approximately one per month ?1,700 surgeries provided for children born with cleft lip and cleft palate ?About 5 million supplemental meals delivered to the world's malnourished
Amid continued global economic uncertainty, XANGO continues to expand, with the kickoff of a recent South American expansion initiative that now has the company doing business on six continents. More than 2 million independent distributors enjoy the low-risk, low-startup cost of the XANGO business opportunity. XANGO supports its distributors and the communities where they live through initiatives such as Women Building Bridges and the XANGO Goodness Foundation, which empower women entrepreneurs and support children's charities, respectively.
Launched from a small leased office suite in September 2002, XANGO has grown to encompass a global headquarters that spans more than 30 acres in Lehi, Utah, as well as 27 international offices in locations such as Mexico City, Moscow, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, Milan, Cannes, Taipei, and others. XANGO founders chose September 11, 2002 as their date of incorporation, hoping to attach a positive association with the date that, just one year previous, had been so dark.
"We've all been through an amazing journey of growth and discovery during our first 10 years ? and we've enjoyed great success amid two major economic global slowdowns," said Garrity. "Now, we're ready to move forward, building upon a strong legacy of changing lives, with confidence and optimism in the future and a renewed commitment to the distributors and consumers that make our business thrive. We're excited about the next 10 years and reaching millions more looking for the improved health and financial independence that XANGO can provide."
XANGO also continues to innovate with mangosteen-based, all-natural products that accelerate the business opportunity while addressing weight management, sleep quality and quality of life.
