Description: The Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company is a Delaware corporation traded on the NYSE. From 1891 to 1903, the company was operated as a partnership until it incorporated in Illinois as Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. in December 1903. In November 1910, the company was reincorporated under West Virginia law as Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company, and in October 1927, was reincorporated under the same name under Delaware law. Wrigley is the world's largest manufacturer and marketer of chewing gum. Since the company introduced its first two products, Juicy Fruit and Wrigley's Spearmint, the product line has grown to include breath freshening and tooth whitening gum. Wrigley products are sold in more than 180 countries. The company is organized by the following geographic regions: North America, EMEAI (Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India), Asia (China, Taiwan and the Philippines) and other Pacific and Latin American regions. In 2007, chewing gum and other confectionery products were manufactured in three factories in the United States and 13 factories in other countries. Northwestern Flavors, LLC, a domestic wholly-owned subsidiary, processes the company's flavorings and refined mint oil. On January 31, 2007, the company acquired an 80 percent initial interest in A.
