Orenda International
A two time Inc 5000 fastest growing company in America, Orenda was born from an idea formed when two brothers watched their father, a very talented sales representative, be disrespected and treated as completely disposable. The image of their father, exhausted and broken by the brutal reality of the corporate world was the driving force in the development of the values upon which Orenda is based. In the last 20+ years, Orenda has both supported the viability of the country's most respected integrative health professionals, developed a customer-focused team of entrepreneurs and our community generously supported our community through organizations like The Smile Train, Vitamin Angels, Doctors without Borders, and World Central Kitchen.
