We were two kids (it still feels like that sometimes) who were hungry for success and who wanted to give others the chance to be in business for themselves, too.” Our late founder, Jay Van Andel, said of the company, “Amway gets people into a new life of excitement, promise, profit, and hope.” Amway now operates in over 80 countries and territories around the world.
