Mars, the global confectionery and pet care giant, has announced plans to invest A$200 million ($132 million) in its Australian manufacturing operations by the end of 2027. The investment is intended to expand production capacity, fuel innovation, and support the company’s renewable energy ambitions across its six regional factories.
According to a company press release, the funding follows more than A$450 million ($297 million) spent over the last five years across Mars’ Australian manufacturing infrastructure. This previous activity included a A$112.5 million ($76.3 million) wet pouch facility expansion at its Wodonga pet food factory, which is scheduled to be commissioned in June 2026.
Melodie Nye, Mars managing director and general manager Petcare Australia and New Zealand commented: “We are proud of the role our Australian manufacturing sites play across our operations, and this investment strengthens that commitment for the long term. Our teams continue to lead the way in quality, innovation and sustainability, and this next phase of investment ensures we can keep delivering the trusted products Australians rely on every day”.
