Wrigley's Extra Professional Mints

Wrigley's Extra Professional Mints are a popular sugar-free confectionery product designed for dental health and breath freshening. The brand was originally launched by the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company, which was founded in Chicago, USA, in 1891. While the brand is synonymous with American gum history, the manufacturing of Extra products occurs in various industrial facilities worldwide, including major plants in Poland and France for the European market.

In 2008, Mars, Incorporated acquired the Wrigley Company, and later merged its chocolate and Wrigley segments to form Mars Wrigley. Today, Mars, Incorporated remains the ultimate owner. Mars is a global, family-owned conglomerate headquartered in McLean, Virginia, known for its extensive portfolio in confectionery, pet care, and food products. The 'Professional' line of Extra is often marketed with a focus on oral hygiene, frequently carrying endorsements from dental associations.
