Zija International Recognized as Utah's Fastest Growing Business

Zija International, founded by Kenneth Brailsford, recently received recognition as the fastest growing company in the state of Utah.

Utah Business Magazine, one of the top business magazines in Utah, awarded Zija as the #1 fastest-growing company in 2014 for its year-over-year growth during a recent luncheon.

Utah Business Magazine recognizes the 50 fastest growing businesses annually through its yearly Utah Business Fast 50 Program. The magazine recognizes businesses for their percentage of growth year-over-year and the ability to adapt to a changing business environment, the ability to reach new customers and the ability to improve their products from year to year.

Inc. Magazinex, Direct Selling News and Utah Valley Magazine are just a few of the other independent publications that have also recently recognized Zija International as one of the fastest growing companies in the state and nation.

“Our goal has always been to be a billion-dollar brand in our industry and we’ve worked very hard to set the foundation for that to happen,” Zija International CEO Rodney Larsen said.

Zija International, a privately held and privately funded business, develops natural nutrition and fitness products offered through independent distributors in more than 50 countries. Zija has seen consistent growth every year since it was founded more than seven years ago.

As part of its continued growth, Zija International will be launching two new divisions this month – Ripstix Fitness Supplements and Améo Essential Oils – to go alongside its original Zija Core Nutritional division.


With corporate offices located in Lehi and more than 4 million sq. ft. of debt-free state-of-the-art warehouse, shipping and manufacturing facilities located in Utah County, Zija International employs more than 200 individuals and has the capacity to grow to more than two billion dollars in annual sales.
