History
Immunotec was founded in 1996 by Dr. Gustavo Bounous, a leading immunologist, and John Molson, a Canadian entrepreneur.[4] Dr. Bounous believed that nature holds many secrets for optimal health and dedicated his life's work to unlocking these secrets and proving their effectiveness. The company is currently being led by its CEO, Mauricio Domenzain.[5]
Immunotec operates in several countries, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe.[6] The company has a network of independent consultants who sell its products through direct sales. Immunotec's business model is based on multi-level marketing, which allows its independent consultants to earn commissions by selling products and building a team of consultants.[7]
In 2016, Immunotec was acquired by the network marketing company Vemma Nutrition Company. The acquisition provided Immunotec with access to Vemma's resources, including its research and development team and its global distribution network.[8]
In 2021, Immunotec opened a new state-of-the-art research and production facility to handle the ever-increasing demand for its products. This plant guarantees the highest levels of safety, potency, and formula consistency, ensuring customers receive a perfectly blended, high-quality product every time.[9]
Immunotec's mission is to provide high-quality, science-based products that promote optimal health and wellness. Immunotec is committed to sustainable practices and has implemented several initiatives to reduce its environmental impact.[10]
