Leaders Join for Experience Synergy 2023
North America leaders joined together at our Lehi headquarters to experience Synergy. It is an exciting time for Synergy WorldWide and the North American market. We recently announced a company rebrand and this in-person event was the perfect chance to show off Synergy's new look! The power of our new branding was on full display as leaders entered the office, stepping from years past and into the future. This central focus this weekend was not only about the brand itself, but about revitalizing and strengthening our business.
The event began with a private tour of our Spanish Fork, UT manufacturing center. This state-of-the-art, in-house facility is central to Synergy's quality health products. Visitors were treated to insights about how each of our four quality control laboratories work to guarantee pure and potent products and enjoyed up-close views of our manufacturing equipment such as the mixing, encapsulation, liquids, tableting, stick pack systems. As a demonstration of our commitment to quality, the facility has earned and maintained several certifications including:
- cGMP - Current Good Manufacturing Practices
- TGA - Therapeutic Goods Administration of Australia
- NSF International
- USDA Organic
- ISO 9001 & ISO 17025 - Quality Management Systems
- FDA - United States' Food & Drug Administration
And just recently, the facility has moved off the standard electric grid and now operates on 100% solar power. We believe it is important to protect our most important resource - the Earth - as it provides the key, health-enhancing building blocks for the products we produce here.
GENERAL SESSION I
At check-in, every attendee received an event gift bundle and tickets for the Saturday afternoon prize raffle. The afternoon began with an overview of everything that has been going on at Synergy throughout the past year with Sales Director, Alex Melecio.

IMPACT FOUNDATION SERVICE ACTIVITY
Heart Health Month is a great time each year to raise money to help tiny hearts, but having this group together allowed for a unique opportunity to serve. Everyone in attendance participated in preparing fleece blankets for children receiving care at the Heart Center at Primary Children's Hospital. These blankets help children find comfort and peace during their hospital stay. By the end of the hour, the group was able to complete 60 hand-tied blankets!

Every attendee received raffle tickets just for attending Experience Synergy. However, to increase the odds of winning, each person received additional tickets according to their Heart Health Month - Impact Foundation donations.
