Adams Gum

Adams is an iconic brand in the confectionery world, famously known for pioneering the modern chewing gum industry. The brand was established in the United States during the late 19th century by Thomas Adams, who revolutionized the market by using chicle as a gum base. Over the decades, Adams became synonymous with classic flavors like Chiclets, Black Jack, and Clove gum.

Today, the manufacturing of Adams products takes place across a global network of facilities to serve international markets, particularly in Latin America where the brand maintains significant popularity. Production occurs in various countries determined by regional demand and local supply chains.

Ownership of the Adams brand has transitioned through major corporate mergers. It was originally part of the American Chicle Company, which was later acquired by Warner-Lambert. In 2003, the brand became part of Cadbury Schweppes. Currently, Adams is owned by Mondelez International, a multinational confectionery and snack food titan headquartered in the United States. Mondelez continues to manage the brand as part of its expansive global portfolio of snack and gum products.
