Founding of Microfiber
In 1994, still in the pioneering days of a new product named microfiber, a cleaning company in Dal, Norway received a sample of a new cleaning product to use in their day to day cleaning. They soon realized the enormous potential that this new product could have on today's cleaning methods. Soon thereafter, the Norwegian operating company went into business selling, marketing and further developing microfiber as a material used in modern cleaning products. The ideology was then, as it is now, to produce a more efficient cleaning product where only water needs to be added to the cleaning cloth or mop. This led to a decrease in the use of chemicals and other non-biodegradable detergents. To maintain a cleaner and healthier environment is still a part of the Norwex philosophy today.
The History of Norwex
So, Norwex originated in Norway in 1994. The product line was originally developed for the commercial cleaning industry. In Europe, microfiber products are commonly used in homes, hospitals, schools, hotels and various commercial applications.
Popularity grew quickly and the Home Party market was opened in 1995.
While traveling in Norway two dynamic women from Dauphin, Manitoba were introduced to the product line. They saw the potential for microfiber in North America and in true entrepreneurial fashion set forth on their mission. Head Office remains in Dauphin, Manitoba and products have been distributed throughout North America since 1999.
The Norwex product line expanded to include Environmentally gentle personal care items. Norwex products are sold in various countries throughout the world offering Environmental friendly cleaning alternatives as well as career opportunities.
The company plans to expand to new countries and offers franchise opportunities.
