About Mars
In 1911, Frank C. Mars made the first Mars sweets in his kitchen in Tacoma, Washington, laying the foundations for the Mars confectionery company. In the 1920s, Forrest E. Mars Sr. joined his father's company and together they launched the MILKY WAY® bar. In 1932, Forrest Sr. moved to England to realize his dream: To establish a company with a "mutual benefit" objective for all involved - today's Mars, Incorporated is also characterized by this philosophy.
