Wachters was founded in 1932 in the San Francisco Bay area by scientist Dr Joseph V. Wachter, Sr. He had the notion that sea plants had a lot of health benefits to offer humans. The company has the distinction of being the longest operating mutli-level marketing/direct sales company in the world.
Currently Wachters offers 150 products in nine different product divisions. The company is operational in over 26 countries worldwide.
People can either buy Wachter’s products directly from the website (there is free shipping for autoship), or join the company as a distributor, with typical compensation depending on sales and downline. The company also has free product training via conference calls, which can be accessed though the website.
