LOS ANGELES, July 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/
-- Herbalife (NYSE: HLF), a leading global nutrition
company, announced that today seven independent Herbalife Members from North Carolina are traveling to Washington, D.C. in support of Herbalife and
the value it has brought to Members, consumers and communities for
over 34 years.
These seven independent Members will represent Members from
across the state. In North
Carolina alone there are more than 15,000 independent
Herbalife Members. In
addition, Herbalife is investing more than $130 million in an 800,000 square-foot
manufacturing facility in North
Carolina that will supply products both to the U.S. and
overseas markets. The facility began production in May 2014 and will create over 500 local jobs. By
2015, the company will have spent in excess of $200 million in its own facilities, with the goal
to have over 60 percent of all global product demand met by those
facilities.
It's the first time Members from North
Carolina bring a clear message to Capitol Hill about the
opportunity and integrity behind Herbalife's products:
- Herbalife is a company built on great products.
Herbalife has been making nutritional products for nearly 35 years
developed by expert scientists and nutritionists using quality
ingredients and produced in facilities with industry-leading
quality controls. Nearly three-quarters of Members join Herbalife
to use its products for their own consumption and a quarter of
Members are so passionate about Herbalife that they have chosen to
sell the products.
- With hard work and dedication, Herbalife can lead to real
business opportunities and a healthier life. People
chose to sell Herbalife products because the company offers an
equal and accessible economic opportunity, world-class products,
and the opportunity to connect with a community of like-minded
people.
- Herbalife has the best consumer protections in the direct
selling industry. The company's 'Gold Standard' Member
protections include low start-up costs with no minimum product
purchase requirements and a 100% money-back guarantee, including
shipping costs.
- Herbalife is an active and engaged corporate
citizen. Herbalife has a demonstrated commitment to
advancing the well-being of the residents and communities in which
it operates.
"As the economy recovers from the great recession, one of the
most important aspects of getting communities back on their feet is
providing meaningful economic opportunities to those that have been
impacted. Herbalife is one of those opportunities for me and the
Company is doing even more in North
Carolina," said Brad Davis a
Herbalife member from Greensboro, North
Carolina. "I'm excited that Herbalife is expanding their
presence in our great state and creating hundreds of jobs at their
new Winston-Salem manufacturing
facility. This is all while encouraging people to embrace a healthy
active lifestyle and take advantage of a unique opportunity to be
an entrepreneur, generate additional income, and share the products
they love with their greater community. Herbalife has been a great
addition to our state already and there is an excitement and
positivity across the region about what Herbalife is bringing to
our community."
