Mentos Gum

Mentos is a globally recognized brand of mints and chewing gum. While the brand originated in the Netherlands in the 1930s under the Van Melle company, it became a powerhouse after the 2001 merger that created Perfetti Van Melle.

Mentos products are produced at numerous facilities worldwide to serve regional markets; for European distribution, manufacturing often occurs in Italy or the Netherlands, while other regions are served by factories in locations like China, Brazil, and Turkey. The brand is currently owned by the Italian-Dutch multinational corporation Perfetti Van Melle, one of the world's largest confectionery manufacturers.
