Wrigley's Extra gum is one of the world's most recognized sugar-free chewing gum brands. Originally launched in 1984 as the first sugar-free offering from the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company, it has grown to become a staple in the confectionery market, noted for its oral health benefits and long-lasting flavor. Specifically, the 'White' range is designed to help maintain the natural whiteness of teeth.

Today, the brand is owned by Mars, Incorporated, following one of the most significant mergers in the food industry. Mars acquired the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company in 2008 in a deal backed by Berkshire Hathaway, eventually merging its chocolate segment with the gum business to create Mars Wrigley. While the brand originated in the United States, it is produced in numerous high-tech manufacturing facilities across the globe, including major sites in the US, Europe, and Asia, to serve local markets.
