Review 2016: LR Health & Beauty Continues Successful Course

Extensive investments at the company site in Ahlen


AHLEN, Germany–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The positive trend from 2015 continues: LR Health & Beauty was able to
expand its positive business development in 2016. The Ahlen-based
network marketing company recorded sales of nearly EUR 258 million, up
15 percent on a year-on-year basis (net of currency effects). Key growth
drivers in turnover were the international markets such as Turkey,
Italy, Poland, Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain with double-digit
growth. But in Germany as well, LR grew by almost 20 percent in the
acquisition of new sales partners, thus laying the foundation for
sustainable success. “This is an excellent development that confirms the
confidence in our business model,” says Dr. Thomas Stoffmehl, CEO of LR
Health & Beauty and spokesman of the Management Board.

In focus for 2017: Support of sales partners

The targeted support of the sales partners, the development of careers
and, as a result, the sustained expansion of sales structures take
centre stage in 2017. “As a genuine network marketing company, the
intensive exchange and dialogue with our sales partners is essential for
us. This is the only way to ensure that the sales partners are supported
in a needs-oriented way, to win them over to our business and bind them
in the long term,” says Dr. Thomas Stoffmehl.

Site investment: Extension of the production capacities

The expansion of the company site in Ahlen is part of the company’s
sustainable growth strategy. A production site for the Aloe Vera
Drinking gels is being built there and will be completed by the end of
2017. With a turnover of 39%, the Aloe Vera product segment is one of
the most important core competencies of LR. With an annual harvesting
volume of 12,000 tonnes of aloe vera leaves, the company is among the
world’s largest manufacturers of aloe vera products. The production
plant will be state-of-the-art and closely interlinked with logistics.
LR thus strengthens its claim “Made in Germany” with the highest quality
standards.

The direct selling industry faces challenges over the next years. “In
the age of digitalisation, it is important to modernise the business
model, continuously expand a first-class, innovative product portfolio
and build up a motivated partner organisation to remain well-positioned
for a promising future. With a strong team of over 1,200 LR employees
worldwide, we are well positioned to tackle these challenges,” says Dr.
Thomas Stoffmehl.
