Wrigley's Extra Spearmint sugarfree gum

Extra is a globally recognized brand of sugarfree chewing gum, first launched by the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company in 1984. It was the first sugar-free product from Wrigley and quickly became one of the most popular gum brands in the world, particularly in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia.

The production of Extra gum occurs across various global facilities to meet regional demand. In North America, much of the production is centered in the United States and Canada, while European markets are often supplied by facilities in Poland or France. The manufacturing process utilizes advanced confectionery technology to maintain the long-lasting flavor profile the brand is known for.

Ownership of the brand transitioned significantly in 2008 when Mars, Incorporated acquired the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company. Today, the brand is managed under the Mars Wrigley segment, a division of the American multinational. This partnership combined Wrigley's expertise in gum and mints with Mars' extensive global distribution network, ensuring Extra remains a leader in the confectionery market.
