PAUL PENDERS SOON AVAILABLE IN THE BALTICS
It is with great pleasure we welcome Agate as the representative for Paul Penders in the three Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
Agate lives in Riga, the beautiful capital of Latvia, whose historical centre has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Agate has a degree in economics and business administration, and after graduation, she worked at a bank where she gained experience in economics and business. Then came the next step in her professional life: together with her husband, they build a sanitary company that now operates in all three Baltic states as well as in Russia.
Still, the passion and the hobby, cosmetics, played a larger and larger role in Agate's life. 'I grew up in my mother's laboratory where she was making creams, perfumes and shampoos,' she says. 'There were so many jars and tubes! It was fun, especially when I was allowed to mix up something on my own. Then, I was thinking that when I grew up, I would like to be just like my mother'.
Agate continues: 'One day, when searching the Internet for news about organic cosmetics, I found Paul Penders' products. I was impressed and decided to write an email, and then it all started!'
With a professional approach and a profound knowledge of the market, Agate already runs the cosmetic firm 'Pure Secrets' - and therefore has a network of distributors, ready to spread the knowledge of Paul Penders products all over the Baltics.
'I think Paul Penders products have a very big potential in the Baltics - they are different, unique, and have their own personality,' says Agate.
'And I'm fulfilling my dream, working with my real passion, the cosmetic business. All thanks to my mother!'

HERBALGRAM RECOGNIZES MALAYSIA'S NATURAL HEALING GOODNESS!
In December 2009, Herbalgram, the magazine of the American Botanical Council, featured a 14 page article detailing Malaysia's unique medicinal plants.
Entitled, 'Balancing Nature and Wellness: Malaysian Traditions of 'Ramuan' The History, Culture, Biodiversity and Scientific Assimilation of Medicinal Plants in Malaysia,' the article notes that, 'While many developing countries have hoped and waited for a drug or chemical company to discover a blockbuster compound that might bring revenue to the country from native flora, Malaysia has explored the potential of its own biodiversity that includes upwards of 20,000 species of vascular plants.'
Herbalgram is the foremost American magazine in the herbal industry, read widely by herbal professionals as well as regulators at the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). Paul Penders Company has been a supporter and sponsor of HerbalGram for several years.

COMPANY MOOD MEETING GENERATES NEW IDEAS
In late December, marketing managers at Paul Penders company met to discuss giving the Paul Penders brand a clarifying tag name that would help consumers understand what the brand stands for.
Paul Penders cosmetics are not just cosmetics alone - there is a lot more to the brand that could be shared with the public.
The Mood Meeting started with discussion among people of eight different nationalities to find the soul of the brand. This way of working reflects exactly how the company operates - a multi cultural, open-minded and open sharing group of individuals with a heart and passion for the brand. Everyone was eager to share their ideas of doing business and working with nature.
During an open discussion, the team we came up with a new tagname: Paul Penders, my way of life, naturally yours.
Secondly, we embarked upon a very creative session in which the team was split into five groups that discussed and explored the Paul Penders Customer. This was a very lively and inspiring session that gave us a lot of material that will be used in ads, brochures, websites and other materials over the coming year.
Lastly, we got a sneak preview of the new Paul Penders consumer website with updated features. A few weeks from now, we'll be able to share more!
