Mars

Despite the closure of the Olen factory, the company plans to continue its broader operational presence in Belgium.

The expansion includes the addition of three new production lines, featuring advanced technologies for rolled wafer products and filled-bar innovations, notably for the Galaxy Flutes brand.

This collaboration creates a multi-buyer approach that enhances the scale and effectiveness of renewable energy procurement while fostering deeper supply chain sustainability.

Mars expects to cut approximately 3 million tonnes of carbon emissions, equivalent to around 10% of its total footprint by 2030.

The investment aims to modernize and expand Mars’s manufacturing facilities to meet evolving consumer needs while enhancing sustainability and economic resilience.
