Sydney, Australia (April 8, 2019) – Plexus Worldwide (Plexus), a leading direct-selling health and wellness company, is pleased to announce the April 2019 launch in Australia. The introductory roll-out includes Plexus Lean, Plexus Slim and MetaBurn products to support gut health and weight management. With this expansion comes new partnerships for Plexus with both Direct Selling Australia (DSA), the industry body representing direct selling companies in Australia, and Mary's Meals Australia® for its Nourish One™ Initiativeto combat hunger across the globe.
"Plexus Worldwide has seen significant growth in the past several years and we're incredibly excited to enter the Australian market," says Tarl Robinson, CEO and Founder of Plexus. "High demand for complementary medicine products is driving steady growth, with the vitamin and dietary supplement category reaching $4.9 billion in revenues and doubling over the last 10 years, according to Australia's Complementary Medicines Industry Snapshot 2018. On top of that, as more and more individuals, couples and families look to supplement their income, we know that our industry-leading opportunity can help play a vital part in creating growth and revenue in Australia."
The Australian arm will be led by General Manager Sinead Pollock, who will oversee Plexus' Australian market expansion. She most recently served as Head of Sales – Australia, Singapore and New Zealand for Mannatech Australasia, an Australian health and wellness network marketing company.
"The Australian consumer is incredibly savvy about nutrition and wellness and we see Plexus as the perfect fit," said Pollock. "A 2017 survey conducted by the DSA showed that the total VDS size (revenue) within MLM/Direct Sales channel for Australia is 24.7% in the wellness category. Plexus is all about both increasing the well-being of its customers as well as creating business opportunities for its ambassadors and we are confident that Plexus will exceed all expectations," added Pollock.
Through philanthropic organisation Plexus Charities, Plexus donates the monetary equivalent of one meal to its global partners dedicated to fighting hunger for every serving of Plexus Lean purchased.
"Today, Mary's Meals provides nutritious meals to more than 1.4 million children from some of the most vulnerable communities in the world," added Robinson, "and we are excited to partner with such an exceptional organisation."
"We are thrilled to welcome Plexus to our family," says Leah Swindon, Executive Director Mary's Meals USA. "With partners who share our vision, we are able to help children in communities in need to gain a precious education, which opens the door to the possibility of a brighter future."
