PM-International Opens Global Convention Series with Record Turnout in Mannheim

Sold-out hall, record audience

PM-International, Europe's largest network marketing company, held its National Convention on 19 September 2026 at the Maimarkthalle in Mannheim. The venue was sold out, with more than 3,400 participants on site and more than 7,300 following online — a record figure for the company.

The Mannheim gathering was positioned as the opening event of a worldwide convention series. Further national conventions are scheduled in the PM Group's international markets over the following weeks.

Patrick Bacher, CEO of the European headquarters of PM-International AG, opened the event. Among the highlights he reviewed was the Europe Tour in Croatia, which brought together more than 4,500 European participants and was described as the largest travel incentive programme in the company's history.

Cosmetics line extended, AI tool presented

On the product side, the company's cosmetics offering was expanded: the existing 4ever care product becomes part of a Skin-Longevity routine. Two additions were introduced — 4ever enriched, a rich day care product for dry and demanding skin, and 4ever overnight enriched, a night care product for all skin types. All three care products are based on the nutrient transport concept known as NTC.

Also presented was the FitLine AI Scanner, an artificial-intelligence-based skin analysis tool available through the free FitLine app. According to the company, the scanner analyses more than 100 skin characteristics and generates individual product suggestions, covering both beauty and food supplement items. The tool is described as patent pending.

A further launch was the FitLine Dark Spot Corrector, a product presented for pigment spots and uneven skin tone. Its main ingredient is niacinamide (vitamin B3), combined with gluconolactone (PHA) and barley extract.

Scooter programme joins car incentive

PM-International announced an expansion of its mobility programme, adding a new scooter programme alongside the existing car programme. Under the scheme, distribution partners can receive support of up to 350 euros from PM-International.

Patrick Bacher argued that in large cities a scooter is often more flexible and more practical than a car, with lower acquisition and maintenance costs.

Gisela Adler, General Manager responsible for sales in Germany, closed the event with a summary and an outlook on the final quarter of 2026.

Market and infrastructure expansion

In its anniversary year, PM-International opened new markets in Kazakhstan and Estonia.

The company also reported new offices in Tokyo and Valencia, as well as new Direct Sales Centers in New York, Orange County (California) and Bolivia.
