Enrich

Enrich International, a multi-level marketing company, was established in 1972 and sold to Royal Numico in 1999. It was headquartered in Orem, Utah and a popular product was EnRich & Thin. Its main products were health food, vitamin, and mineral supplements. Royal Numico merged Enrich International with Rexall Showcase in 2001.

Rexall Showcase

Rexall Showcase International was the direct marketing division of Rexall, which originated as Rexall Drugstores in 1903. It was headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. A company named Sundown acquired the Rexall Drugstore trademark in 1985 and continued to manufacture supplements as Rexall-Sundown, with no relationship to the remaining chain of Rexall drugstores. Shortly after, Rexall Showcase was made as a direct marketing organization. Numico acquired Rexall Sundown in 2000, which included Rexall Showcase, and merging Rexall Showcase with Enrich to form Unicity Network in 2001.

Unicity Network

After Royal Numico created Unicity Network, the company appointed Richard Bizzaro, formerly of Weider Nutrition, to be CEO of Unicity Network from 1999 to 2002. Numico began splitting up the Rexall divisions and the direct marketing division in 2003, selling the name Rexall-Sundown to NBTY, a US vitamin company, and the Unicity Network division was to be sold to Activated Holdings, a privately held company which owns Shaklee. The deal fell through, however. In 2003, Gateway Distributors Ltd also bid Royal Numico to purchase Unicity Network. Unicity Network was eventually sold to two members of its management team, and its name changed to Unicity International in 2003.

Unicity International

In July 2003, Royal Numico divested Unicity Network. Unicity was purchased by internal management and renamed itself to Unicity International, Inc.

Stewart Hughes was named president of Unicity International on May 1, 2005.
