OUR STORY
More than 100 years ago, a young Frank C. Mars started making candies in his Tacoma, Washington kitchen. From that simple beginning, his son Forrest built Mars into the mature company it is today, first by creating the MILKY WAY® bar with his father and later by expanding the business overseas and diversifying into new categories like pet care and food.
Today, the Mars family of Associates is 80,000 strong in 78 countries around the world. Through all that growth, we’ve remained a private, family-owned business, with passionate Associates who are united and guided by The Five Principles.
Mars makes a lot more than just chocolate. Indeed, six distinct and different businesses — Petcare, Chocolate, Wrigley, Food, Drinks and Symbioscience — have helped us reach billions of consumers and achieve more than $35 billion in global sales.
From selling PEDIGREE® dog food in New Zealand to planting SEEDS OF CHANGE® in South Africa, we touch nearly every corner of the globe — and the passion of our Associates help us do it the right way.
At Mars, we interview more than 100,000 people a year around the world for our open positions. We want to make sure everybody who goes through the application and interview process gets an honest and positive experience of Mars, no matter what the end result.
