Trident is a globally recognized brand of sugar-free chewing gum, famously launched in 1960 as the first national sugarless gum in the United States. It was originally developed by the American Chicle Company, a pioneer in the chewing gum industry. The brand revolutionized the market by marketing gum as a product that is beneficial for dental health, famously using the 'four out of five dentists surveyed' slogan.
Over the decades, ownership of Trident shifted through major corporate acquisitions. American Chicle was acquired by Warner-Lambert, which later merged with Pfizer. In 2003, the brand was sold to Cadbury Schweppes. In 2010, the brand became part of Kraft Foods following its acquisition of Cadbury. Kraft Foods later split into two companies in 2012, and the snacking business, including Trident, became part of Mondelēz International.
Today, Trident is owned by Mondelēz International, an American multinational confectionery, food, holding, and beverage company headquartered in Chicago. While the brand originated in the United States, it is manufactured in various facilities around the world, primarily in countries like Mexico, Turkey, and Thailand, to serve different international markets. In some regions, local subsidiaries or designated distributors handle the packaging and regional logistics.
