Mentos Gum Pure Fresh Fresh Mint

Mentos is a world-renowned brand of scotch mints and chewing gum. While the Mentos brand was originally developed in the Netherlands by the Van Melle company in the 1930s, the Mentos chewing gum variety seen here is a much later addition to the product lineup, quickly becoming a market leader in the sugar-free gum category.

Today, the brand is owned by Perfetti Van Melle, a global confectionery giant formed by the 2001 merger of the Italian group Perfetti and the Dutch group Van Melle. The product in the image is distributed in the Benelux region through their local office in Breda, Netherlands. Manufacturing for these specific plastic gum pots often takes place in centralized global production hubs, with Turkey being a primary manufacturing location for the European market.
