Mars Australia

Who we are
Mars Australia is part of the Mars Incorporated global organisation, with over 65,000 Associates employed worldwide. We manufacture and market some of the biggest and best brands in the world, including MARS®, SNICKERS®, M&M’S®, MASTERFOODS®, DOLMIO®, KAN TONG®, PEDIGREE®, WHISKAS®, and SCHMACKOS®...
just to name a few!

Our business in Australia began when we commenced selling the MARS® bar in 1954. Our first factory was built in 1967, and since then we have grown significantly. We now have six manufacturing sites across Australia in the Chocolate, Petcare, Food and Gum and Confectionery industries, and employ more than 2,000 Associates.

Whether it’s the simple pleasure of savouring the world’s best-loved chocolate and confectionary, the warmth that a healthy and contented pet brings to your family, or the rewards that come from creating fantastic tastes in your own home, Mars is the company behind many of the enduring brands Australians have come to know and trust.
