Overview
- Channeling $2 billion into U.S. manufacturing through 2026 will fund new builds and automation upgrades at existing plants.
- The Nature’s Bakery facility in Salt Lake City will cost $240 million, generate 230 jobs and produce about one billion candy bars annually.
- Funding will extend to Mars’ recently opened Royal Canin plant in Ohio and other facilities slated for advanced automation.
- The commitment builds on over $6 billion invested in the past five years, which Mars credits with creating roughly 9,000 American jobs.
- With 94% of U.S. sales now met by local production, Mars is reinforcing its domestic footprint as it navigates import tariffs and an ongoing EU review of its Kellanova deal.
