Market America Expands International Presence Into Taiwan

GREENSBORO, NC (PRWEB) August 30, 2005

Market America, a product brokerage and Internet marketing company specializing in One-to-One Marketing and Mass Customization, today announced the opening of its newest international operation, Market Taiwan. Headquartered in Taipei, with sales centers in Taichung and Kaoshiung, Market Taiwan will service the company’s burgeoning international customer base.

“Our expansion into Taiwan is a direct result of successes in Canada and Australia,” said James H. Ridinger, Market America’s president and CEO. “Our Australian operations have been hugely successful and thousands there have seen that they can be an independent business owner. By building on the success in North America and Australia, Taiwan is the perfect extension of our company and launching point for further expansion into the Pacific Rim.”

Market America opened Market Australia in 2002. The company has used that success as a foundation for further expansion into the Pacific Rim. Since its opening, Market Australia has generated nearly $30 million in revenue and continues to grow through its independent distributors.

Market America has appointed George Hu as Market Taiwan branch manager and Kevin Yen as sales manager. Prior to Market Taiwan George Hu was senior director and chief financial officer for Global Unichip Corp. He has also worked as Taiwan branch president for Mary Kay Inc. where he worked to build the organization’s sales. Kevin Yen comes to Market Taiwan with more than 12 years in the direct selling industry. He previously worked as sales manager for Mary Kay Inc., Taiwan Branch.

“Market Taiwan will become the main hub for Market America’s expansion into this portion of the world,” said George Hu, Market Taiwan branch manager. “The opening of this operation proves that Taiwan is an important part of the world economy. Market America has worked diligently to build a business model that can truly help the average Taiwanese person become independent and financially secure.”

Market Taiwan’s headquarters are located on the 20th Floor at #189 Keelung Road, Section 2 in Taipei, Taiwan. In the corporate offices are meeting areas for independent distributors to use as meeting space and for training sessions.

“Market Taiwan’s headquarters are open to anyone that wants to learn about this opportunity,” said Kevin Yen, sales manager. “Our business is built upon learning about the products and the relationship between customers and UnFranchise business owners. We will do everything we can to help those that want to learn how to become independent.”
