Max International Opens in the Philippines

Philippines open,

After months of preparation and planning, Max International officially launched its operations in the Philippines on Saturday, August 1, welcoming more than 2,300 guests to a special event at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.

Max International President Mike Larkins started the event by sharing his vision of the kind of company Max is, and the values we strive to live up to. “Mike’s remarks were the perfect way to introduce Max to the Philippines,” said Julie VanderToolen, director of events. “He was able to show everyone how Max is different and why our opportunity is something special.”

Additional remarks by Max CEO Peter Nordberg, Senior Vice President Craig Case, and Vice President Rick Nelson gave attendees a clear picture of what Max is all about and what we will accomplish in the Philippines, our third market. There was also a ribbon cutting at the convention center, because it was the only way to accommodate all attendees.

Associate leaders who spoke were Jim Fitzpatrick, Chris and Tammy Gingras, Steven Kent, Todd King, and Steve Lee. Two representatives from the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines, Patrick Wall and Dey Robalis, attended the event.

“I was truly amazed at how excited everyone was at this event,” Julie said. “You could literally feel the energy from the crowd, and that’s a spectacular way to launch a new market. It was a memorable day for everyone.”
