Tic Tac Mint dragees

Tic Tac is one of the world's most recognizable confectionery brands, famous for its small, hard mints and distinctive flip-top plastic dispensers. The brand was first introduced in 1969 by the Italian confectionery giant Ferrero. Since its launch, it has expanded from the original mint flavors to a wide variety of fruit and specialty flavors, becoming a global staple in the breath mint category.

The manufacturing of Tic Tac is a global operation handled by the Ferrero Group. While production occurs in several countries to serve different regional markets, a significant amount of the product distributed globally is manufactured in Ireland (at the Ferrero plant in Cork), as well as in Canada, Australia, and Brazil. This ensures that the product maintains its signature texture and flavor profile across all markets.

The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of Ferrero International S.A., a private Italian multinational corporation headquartered in Luxembourg. Ferrero is one of the largest candy and chocolate producers in the globe, owning other massive brands like Nutella, Kinder, and Ferrero Rocher. In the Czech Republic and neighboring European markets, the brand is managed through Ferrero's local subsidiaries, ensuring consistent distribution and marketing.
