Mars, Incorporated, a global leader in snacks and treats and maker of iconic brands such as M&M’s, Skittles, and KIND, has announced a bold new investment of $2 billion into its U.S. manufacturing footprint.
The strategic capital injection will roll out over the next 18 months and is aimed at scaling domestic production, enhancing innovation, and supporting job creation across the country.
This new round of funding builds upon Mars’ prior $6 billion investment over the past five years, which added 9,000 new jobs and significantly expanded its operational capacity. Today, 94% of all Mars products sold in the U.S. are proudly made in America.
“Our commitment to the U.S. market is stronger than ever,” said a Mars spokesperson. “This investment reflects our dedication to innovation, quality, and community impact, and it positions us for long-term growth in the region.”
Key Highlights:
- 2 Billion Investment: Focused on facility upgrades, expansion, and scaling across key production hubs.
- Job Growth: Thousands of additional manufacturing roles anticipated nationwide.
- Made in America: Mars now produces 94% of U.S.-sold products domestically.
- Sustainability & Innovation: Incorporation of advanced manufacturing technologies and environmentally responsible practices.
- New Facility in Utah: Expansion includes a Nature’s Bakery plant to support Mars’ growing snack portfolio.
A Sweet Future Ahead
This investment underscores Mars’ commitment not only to delicious, high-quality products, but also to strengthening American communities and advancing sustainable growth. From the Midwest to the Mountain West, Mars is building more than snacks—it’s building economic momentum.
