AMWAY president Doug DeVos visited the company’s Queensland headquarters at Loganholme on Sunday for the first time since the $2million centre opened in November.
Mr DeVos, son of company co-founder Rich DeVos, flew in from the US to inspect the site, which was chosen for its proximity to Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
He said the company was investing in its business facilities here because it saw great potential.
“We are financially strong, we are in consumer products that only seem to be modestly impacted at this point by the financial crisis,” he said
“As we look to the future we are still a business planning to grow.”
