Amway Japan Limited
 PROFILE
Japan seems to like the American way. Amway Japan, the sole distributor of Amway products in Japan, operates through more than one million independent distributors. It sells some 190 different products in a number of lines that include housewares, personal care, nutrition, and home care. The multilevel marketer enables individuals to establish their own businesses by sponsoring new distributors. However, sales at Amway Japan have been falling due in part to a decline in new distributor applications. The families of Amway founders Richard DeVos and Jay Van Andel took the company private in 2000.
