| 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. Based in McLean, Virginia, Mars has net sales of more than $30 billion, six business segments including Chocolate, Petcare, Food, Gum & Confections, and Symbioscience, and more than 65,000 Associates worldwide that are putting our Mars Principles in action to make a difference for people and the planet through our performance. In the Netherlands Mars operates at three sites. In Veghel one of the largest chocolate factories in the world is situated. Brands as MARS®, SNICKERS® and TWIX® are made here. The head office for marketing and sales activities in the Dutch market is also located at the Veghel site. At the factory in Oud-Beijerland food products such as UNCLE BENS® and SUZI WAN® are made. Both factories hold an important position within Mars Europe as an innovation centre for new products, marketing strategies and techniques. Working at Mars is both straightforward as challenging.
