Tic Tac Mint

Tic Tac is one of the world's most recognizable confectionery brands, famous for its signature hard mints packaged in a distinctive transparent plastic flip-top container. Originally launched in 1969, the brand was created by the Italian confectionery giant Ferrero. The name 'Tic Tac' is an onomatopoeia, mimicking the sound the container makes when it is opened and closed.

While the brand originated in Italy, Tic Tac production is now a global operation. Major manufacturing facilities are located in Alba (Italy), Cork (Ireland), and Lithgow (Australia), as well as in Canada and India to serve regional markets. This distributed manufacturing model ensures fresh supply to the hundreds of countries where the product is sold.

The brand remains under the absolute ownership of the Ferrero Group, a family-owned multinational corporation headquartered in Luxembourg. Ferrero is one of the largest chocolate and confectionery companies in the world, also owning famous brands like Nutella, Ferrero Rocher, and Kinder.
