PM International began in 1993 as P.M. Cosmetics. Today PM International is an MLM company that operates in the nutritional supplement and personal care MLM niches.

The company is based out of Luxembourg (previously Germany), and claims to be ‘one of Europe’s largest direct marketing companies in the areas of health, wellness and beauty‘.

On its website, PM International claims to have “around 150,000 successful distributors worldwide”.

Heading up PM International is founder and CEO, Rolf Sorg (right).

As per Sorg’s PM International corporate bio;

Rolf Sorg started off as a car mechanic.  He was fascinated by direct marketing and during his first three years sponsored an average of at least 10 business partners a month.

I wasn’t able to ascertain Sorg’s MLM history prior to founding PM International.

In 2013 Sorg won a lawsuit against Google. Sorg claimed Google was associating his name with “fraud” and “Scientology” via the search engine’s auto-complete feature.

When asked by Bild how he felt about winning the case, Sorg replied;

Good! The judgment protects me and my name. I have nothing to do with fraud and Scientology.
