Mentos Fruit Roll

Mentos is a global confectionery brand best known for its chewy dragees. Originally developed in the Netherlands in 1932 by brothers Michael and Pierre van Melle, the brand has grown to be available in over 130 countries. The product shown is the fruit roll variant, a popular vegan-friendly snack.

Manufacturing of Mentos products takes place at several facilities worldwide to serve different regions, including major sites in the Netherlands, China, Brazil, and Vietnam. This logistical footprint ensures that the candy remains fresh and accessible globally.

Today, Mentos is owned by Perfetti Van Melle, a massive confectionery group formed through the merger of the Italian company Perfetti and the Dutch company Van Melle in 2001. The company remains a powerhouse in the sweets industry, headquartered in both Schiphol-Rijk, Netherlands, and Lainate, Italy.
