Usana’s China operation given permits for direct selling expansion

Global nutrition company Usana Health Sciences has received approval for its China subsidiary to expand its direct selling operation to eight more provinces and municipalities within the country.

The Ministry of Commerce will now permit BabyCare to sell in Liaoning, Shandong, Shanxi, Sichuan and Guangdong provinces, as well as the cities of Dalian, Qingdao and Shenzhen.

These additional licenses add to BabyCare’s existing direct selling licenses in Beijing, Jiangsu, Shanxi and Tianjin.

We are pleased to have received these additional licenses in China, where we continue to expand the reach of our world-class products,” said, Dave Wentz, co-chief executive of Usana, which develops and manufactures nutritional supplements, healthy foods and personal care products for direct sale across the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

We remain committed to working with the Chinese government as we continue growing our business in this promising market.”
