MARS
In 1911, Frank C. Mars made the first Mars candies in his Tacoma, Washington
kitchen and established our first roots as a confectionery company. In the 1920’s,
Forrest Mars, Sr. joined his father in business and together they launched the
MILKY WAY® bar. In 1932, Forrest , Sr. moved to the United Kingdom with a dream of building a business based on the philosophy of a “mutuality of benefits” for all stakeholders – this vision serves as the foundation of the Mars, Incorporated we are today. Based in McLean, Virginia, Mars has net sales of more than $30 billion, six business segments including Chocolate, Petcare, Food, Gum & Confections, and Symbioscience, and more than 65,000 Associates worldwide that are putting our Mars Principles in action to make a difference for people and the planet through our performance.
