PVM is excited to be returning to TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes and plans to underscore its dedication to travel exclusive new product development with a focus on its global brands Mentos and Chupa Chups; as well as highlighting its fastest growing regional brands at the upcoming travel retail industry showcase.

Our company objective is to continually invest in this market and inject some colour and innovation to our dedicated product ranges.
