Pez was first marketed as a compressed peppermint sweet inVienna, Austria in 1927 by a candy maker named Eduard Haas III. Haas createdthe peppermints using family owned baking powders, and decided to serve themints in small, hand-size containers. He manufactured a small tin to hold themints, similar to the modern Altoids tins. The first Pez mint dispensers, knownas \"regulars,\" were similar in shape to a cigarette lighter, anddispensed an adult breath mint marketed as an alternative to smoking. They wereinvented by Oscar Uxa. Haas Food Manufacturing Corporation of Vienna was thefirst to sell Pez products.
World War II slowed marketing and production. In 1945,manufacturers devised and promoted the Pez Box Regular. In 1952 Eduard Haasintroduced his product to the United States, and Curtis Allina headed Pez\'sU.S. business. In 1955, the Pez company placed heads on the dispensers andmarketed them for children. Santa Claus and Mickey Mouse were among the firstcharacter dispensers. Since 1950, over 1500 Pez dispensers, including theoriginal character dispensers, have been created.
Pez vending machines were used in Germany, Switzerland, andAustria. The first German machines were introduced around 1954 and wereproduced by DWM (Deutsche Waggon- und Maschinenfabrik) and GWS (Georg Wiegandtund Söhne), both of Berlin, Germany. Machines were later introduced inSwitzerland and then in Austria, in October 1956; these were produced byGlerios / R.Seipel & Co. and/or Theodor Braun (Vienna).
In 1973, Pez built a factory in Orange, Connecticut, U.S. In1983, Scott McWhinnie became the president of the Pez company. He retired in2003. Joe Vittoria became president of the company in 2004. Around 2005 thesize of the original factory was doubled and the Pez dispenser line wasexpanded. In the mid-1990s peppermint flavored Pez candies were reintroducedalong with remakes of the \'regulars\'.
In early 2006 the family of the original founder of thecompany bought back 32.5% of the stock from investment company PGH for €18M.They now own 67.5% of the company. The headquarters are in Traun, Austria. ThePez candies are produced in Traun and Orange, Connecticut, U.S. while thedispensers are produced in Hungary and China.
