Mentos Spearmint Gum

Mentos Spearmint Gum is a globally recognized sugar-free chewing gum known for its refreshing flavor and crunchy outer shell. The brand's journey began in the Netherlands during the 1930s when brothers Michael and Pierre van Melle created the original Mentos peppermint caramel. Over the decades, the brand expanded its portfolio to include a wide variety of fruit and mint flavored candies and gums, becoming a staple in the confectionery market.

Today, Mentos is owned by Perfetti Van Melle, a major global confectionery and gum group formed by the merger of the Italian Perfetti group and the Dutch Van Melle company. The brand maintains a vast production network, with manufacturing facilities located in several countries to serve different regional markets. Its ownership remains under the Italian-Dutch multinational Perfetti Van Melle, headquartered in Lainate, Italy, and Amsterdam, Netherlands.
