A century-old cookware manufacturer based in Kewaskum said it will sign a deal next week to sell products through a firm in China that does direct marketing to consumers, like Amway Corp. or Mary Kay Cosmetics in the United States.
Regal Ware Inc. says its products will be sold through a network of 2 million sales consultants worldwide and 2,500 storefronts in China. The marketer, Joymain Science & Technology Inc., had about $1.5 billion in sales this year and expects $2 billion in 2015, according to Regal Ware.
Joymain's products include household and health items. The company has a U.S. affiliate, JM Ocean Avenue, that sells nutritional supplements and personal care items.
