Founded in 1926 by a man with an eye for recycling and a belief in human potential, The Antioch Company has since grown into a multinational organization consisting of operating and business units located in Ohio, Minnesota, Nevada, and Virginia.

The direct-selling division encompasses the U.S. and Puerto Rico, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom, with expansion planned in other European countries.

The Antioch Company employs more than 750 people and manufactures, packages and markets more than 3,000 products to tens of thousands of independent sales Consultants and retail dealers. Most important, throughout its continual, successful growth, The Antioch Company has always kept its founder's focus on people.

Charitable Contributions

Giving back to our communities is a vital part of The Antioch Company’s corporate philosophy. The Antioch Company has a history of caring that spans the 75 years since its founding. In those days, the company opened its doors and lent its printing presses to anyone who needed to promote a community cause.

Today's sophisticated printing processes make it impossible to give that kind of direct aid, but we now have many more ways of giving back. Besides donating directly to community projects, we encourage employee-owners to become involved in helping others. One way is by matching employee-owner contributions; for every dollar donated by an employee-owner to a nonprofit organization, the company will donate $2 to the same cause, with a maximum company contribution of $1,000 per year per employee-owner.

We also encourage active participation in bettering our communities. Every employee-owner can claim up to two days of paid leave to do volunteer work on company time. Also, each Antioch Company location has a committee of employee-owners to help direct contributions and promote involvement in community activities. Groups of employee-owners have worked to build homes, organized teams for walk-a-thons, answered phones for public radio pledge campaigns, and cleaned up public parks.

We strive for unity in our charitable campaigns by sponsoring all-company programs in which employee-owners can participate. We are an organization that values people. We strive, in all of our endeavors, to be a good neighbor and contribute time, energy and resources to the communities in which we live and work.
