Mentos Chewing Gum Mighty Mint

Mentos is an internationally recognized brand of scotch mints and chewing gum. The brand originated in the Netherlands in the 1930s when the Van Melle brothers, Michael and Pierre, first developed the chewy peppermint candy. Today, Mentos is a global household name, available in more than 130 countries.

The manufacturing of Mentos products occurs in various locations worldwide to meet regional demand, including facilities in the Netherlands, Italy, Turkey, and China. The brand remains under the ownership of Perfetti Van Melle, a massive confectionery group formed through the 2001 merger of the Italian company Perfetti and the Dutch company Van Melle. Perfetti Van Melle continues to be a privately-owned leader in the global sweets market.
