American multinational confectionery firm Mars will invest €1 billion in Europe by the end of 2026, the sweetmaker announced on Thursday. The funding will go towards boosting manufacturing and innovation across its 24 factories in 10 countries in the European Union.
This follows an investment of €1.5bn that the company, behind brands including M&M’s, Skittles and Whiskas, has already funnelled into EU manufacturing over the past five years.
