Mars Food Australia - Delivering flavour 30 Years on

This year Mars Food celebrates its 30^th anniversary at Berkeley Vale, a tribute to an international corporation that chose this region when the decision was made to move out of Sydney and have remained here ever since.

With a payroll  in excess of $50 million annually plus a hefty spend supporting local suppliers along with their support to local community and sporting groups that includes the Central Coast Mariners football team this company sets an example for good corporate citizenship.

Privately owned by the Mars Family, Mars is an American multinational manufacturer of confectionery, pet food, and other food products and a provider of animal care services, with US$40 billion in annual sales in 2020.
