As a small and independent family owned business, Glee Gum is a great representative of the types of exhibitors we target for our Green Products Expo. They are passionate about their company, the environment, and sustainable development and it is evident in the products they produce.

 The company was founded after a trip to an economically depressed region of Northern Guatemala. The region produced chicle, which is the sap of the Sapodilla tree that grows in the rainforests of Central America. Chicle once was the main ingredient in chewing gum, but has been replaced by cheaper synthetic resins. Having never thought of the production of chewing gum, and wanting to help support this area of chicle-producing communities, the concept of Glee was born.

 The mission statement on their website best describes what they believe in.

 “We at Verve, inc. believe that consumers can make a big difference in determining the fate of the earth. We hope that everyone takes an active interest in learning where their products come from and how they get to other parts of the world. We cannot exploit the earth’s natural resources indefinitely without facing disastrous consequences.”

 It is exhibitors like Verve Inc. who make us proud to do what we do. We love helping small companies who believe in themselves, their products and the environment. Verve is committed to producing environmentally sustainable products that help shape our world.

Glee gum is available in several flavors including Triple Berry, Bubblegum, Tangerine, Spearmint, Peppermint and Cinnamon.

 Verve also produces Make Your Own Candy kits that come in chewing gum,chocolate and gummies. These are designed to create something fun exciting and delicious while connecting kids to the global community while captivating their interest.
