Welcome to

Mars Nederland

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. In the Netherlands Mars, Incorporated sells chocolate products (MARS®, SNICKERS® and M&M’S®), gum (FREEDENT®), pet food (PEDIGREE® and WHISKAS®) and food products (SUZI WAN® en UNCLE BEN’S®).
