Mars invests heavily in the future of EU locations

The confectionery giant Mars has announced plans to invest one billion euros in its European sites by the end of 2026. The initiative aims to expand production capacities and advance sustainability and innovation efforts in the region. This significant financial boost is in addition to the more than 1.5 billion euros Mars has invested in European manufacturing over the past five years. Mars operates 24 factories in ten countries within the European Union and employs around 25,000 people. The latest investment push underscores the company's commitment to further strengthening its presence and capabilities in this important market. Furthermore, Mars made headlines last year when it announced the $36 billion acquisition of Pringles manufacturer Kellanova. While the transaction has already passed antitrust review in the U.S., it is still under review in the European Union.
