ForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation (FVRG) announced that growth is accelerating in several geographic regions, especially Europe and Asia.
“Several key indicators for Europe are trending strongly upward during the last several months.
Our auto-ship orders, a key measure of brand loyalty and retention, have grown 64% since March. Total European sales have also grown significantly during this same time frame and now represent 36% of the companies’ overall sales. I firmly believe that ForeverGreen Europe is positioned to continue its growth both in terms of sales and customer retention.

I could not be more confident of the direction we are headed and the initiatives in place to ensure continued upward growth,” stated Blake Schroeder, President of ForeverGreen Europe.
