Since its founding in 1967, the Corporation Yanbal
Women International is synonymous to the Ameri-
can Beauty. The company is present in 7 Latin
American countries: Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador,
Guatemala, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela, as well
as in Spain.
Yanbal International is dedicated to manufactur-
ing and distribution of face and personal care
products, make up, fragrances and jewellery,
which are sold exclusively through direct sales by
catalogues or through beauty consultants.
In Ecuador, Colombia and Peru, they have a total
of 5 production plants that cover the market de-
mand in these countries, meeting highest quality
standards.
The Research and Development Center of the
company is located in Fort Lauderdale-Miami,
where their perfumers and beauty experts are
developing exclusive formulas for each product.
Jewellery design professionals are based in New
York, where they are always at the forefront of
fashion styles and trends to be able to develop
the most innovative collections of jewellery.
Without any doubt, Yanbal International is one of
the most successful Latin American companies.
According to Robert Watson, the General Man-
ager of Yanbal Ecuador, the expansion of the
brand in the country exceeded all expectations.
“Currently, Yanbal has 10 centres and in 2011, we
expect to open three more.”, says Watson.
