We're a family-owned business that's been around for over a century, starting in 1911 when Frank C. Mars began making candy in his Tacoma kitchen. Today, we're a team of more than 140,000 Associates across 80+ countries, united by our Five Principles: Quality, Responsibility, Mutuality, Efficiency, and Freedom. These aren't just words on a wall - they guide how we make decisions, treat each other, and build our business every day.
Our work spans three main areas: Petcare (where we make brands like PEDIGREE, ROYAL CANIN, and WHISKAS), Snacking (home to M&M's, SNICKERS, and other treats), and Food & Nutrition (including BEN'S ORIGINAL). We're driven by the belief that the world we want tomorrow starts with how we do business today. That's why we've committed to the Sustainable in a Generation Plan, focusing on creating a healthy planet, thriving people, nourishing wellbeing, and responsible sourcing. We're privately held, which means we can think long-term and reinvest in our business, our people, and the communities we're part of - making sure we're not just making products people love, but doing it in a way that makes the world a little better.
