Mentos Peppermint Chewing Gum

Mentos is a global confectionery brand that originated in the Netherlands during the 1930s. Originally famous for its scotch mints, the brand expanded into the chewing gum market, introducing products like the Peppermint Sugar-Free Gum shown here.

Mentos is owned by the Italian-Dutch multinational corporation Perfetti Van Melle. While the brand has Dutch roots, production is decentralized to meet global demand. Manufacturing occurs in various international facilities across Europe (such as Turkey and the Netherlands), Asia (Vietnam and China), and Brazil. Each region is typically supplied by a facility optimized for local logistics, ensuring the product remains a staple in over 150 countries worldwide.
