Shaklee Corporation

Shaklee Corporation is a privately-held maker and distributor of environmentally-friendly cleaning products, nutritional supplements, skin care products and filtration products. The company is based in Pleasanton, California with operations in Canada, China, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico and Taiwan. The company sells its products through a multi-level marketing network and claims a combined base of 750,000 "members" (customers) and distributors.
 
Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee, a San Francisco chiropractor, first began selling "Shaklee's Vitalized Minerals" in 1915. In 1956, Dr. Shaklee founded the Shaklee Corporation with his two sons to manufacture nutritional supplements. Starting in the 1960s, Shaklee began marketing organic, biodegradeable cleaning products and has continually emphasized "natural" and environmentally-friendly products in its marketing messages.
 
The company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in the late 1970s. In 1989, it was acquired by the Yamanouchi Pharmaceutical Company of Japan. Yamanouchi was already partnering with Shaklee in Japan and acted as a "white knight" in helping the company fend off a hostile takeover bid by investor Irwin L. Jacobs. In 2004, Yamanouchi sold the company to private investors in the U.S. for $310 million.
 
As the number one natural nutrition company in the U.S., we've been making people healthier for over 50 years.  And we've made it part of our job to make the planet healthier along the way.
 
We were doing it back when green was just a color and biodegradable was barely a word.  In fact, as early as 1960, we made one of the first biodegradable household cleaners ever.  And we were the first company in the world to obtain Climate Neutral™ certification and totally offset our CO2 emissions, resulting in a net zero impact on the environment.
 
We do what we do because we think it's essential to do our small part as part of the movement to make people and the planet healthier.  In doing so, we believe each of our contributions put together will create the major change we wish to see in the world. 
 
Shaklee LegacyFor 50 years, Shaklee Corporation has been leading the way in natural health products and sustainable business practices.
 
In 1915, Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee created "Vitalized Minerals," one of the first multivitamins in the world.  When he founded Shaklee Corporation in 1956, he helped pioneer both the nutritional supplement industry and a distribution method that rewards word-of-mouth referrals.
 
When everybody else was celebrating plastic and synthetic materials, Shaklee turned to nature—finding the purest natural ingredients for vitamins and making one of the first biodegradable household cleaners ever.
 
When everybody else was spending their marketing dollars on advertising, Shaklee invested what would amount to billions of dollars in rewards for people who spread the word.  Not to mention millions of dollars in research and development.
 
Shaklee Corporation continues to lead the way in the belief that the health and prosperity of people and the planet offer the greatest hope for a better world.
 
The Golden Rule.
 
Shaklee is the most respected name in biodegradable materials.  They stand for quality and excellence in everything they do.  Shaklee is also a powerful MLM business listed in top ten of most reliable MLM companies to join.
 
The MLM industry is about building downlines, buying leads, generating leads, holding sales meetings and generally getting your information across Google about your product and service.

Will you make cold phone calls to prospects about Shaklee?
 
We think there is a much simpler way.
 
We buy customers...NOT Leads
