The plant has been in operation since 1993 in Bokros, southeast Hungary. So far the plant has produced animal food such as treats; however, due to new machinery the Hungarian unit expects to manufacture chews that improve the teeth condition of dogs.

The plant exports 150,000 tonnes of pet food a year to 25 countries in Europe and across the world, Hungarian news agency MTI reported. The companyʼs Budapest-based trade unit employs more than 100 people, MTI added.

Mars is more than a hundred years old, famous not just for the well-known chocolate brand that bears its name, but also for brands such as Uncle Benʼs, Orbit, Pedigree and Whiskas, according to MTI.
