Mentos Mints Peppermint sugar-free

Mentos is a globally recognized brand of mints and chewing gum, best known for its iconic 'The Freshmaker' marketing campaign. The brand was originally created in 1932 by the Dutch brothers Michael and Pierre van Melle, who were inspired to create a peppermint-flavored caramel candy during a train ride to Poland.

Today, Mentos is owned by the multinational corporation Perfetti Van Melle, formed in 2001 through the merger of the Italian company Perfetti and the Dutch company Van Melle. While the brand has its roots in the Netherlands, it has expanded to over 130 countries worldwide.

Manufacturing of Mentos products occurs in multiple locations globally to serve local markets. Major production facilities are located in the Netherlands, Italy, China, Brazil, and the United States. The specific product shown—sugar-free hard mints in a tin—is widely distributed and produced across these international facilities depending on the region of sale.
