Mentos Chewing Gum Menthol Eucalyptus

Mentos is a globally recognized confectionery brand, with its signature gum products widely distributed across Europe, including the Netherlands. The brand was originally created by the van Melle brothers in the Netherlands during the 1930s. Today, production is carried out in several locations depending on the specific market, primarily in Turkey, Poland, and Italy to serve the European region.

Ownership of the brand resides with Perfetti Van Melle, a powerhouse in the global sweets industry. The company was formed in 2001 after the Italian group Perfetti acquired the Dutch company Van Melle. This merger united two historic confectionery dynasties, resulting in one of the world's largest manufacturers and distributors of candies and chewing gums. The company remains headquartered in both Italy and the Netherlands, maintaining its European roots while operating on a massive global scale.
