Mars Egypt, the Egyptian subsidiary of the global food and pet care giant Mars, inaugurated two new production lines at its chocolate manufacturing facility with total investments of $280 million.

The expansion spans 16,000 square meters and marks a significant milestone in the company’s growth in Egypt.

Government officials described the move as a strong vote of confidence from major international, and particularly American, manufacturers in the Egyptian market.

The new lines represent a substantial addition to Egypt’s industrial base and signal the beginning of a new phase of industrial expansion aligned with the country’s ambitious economic growth plans.

The expansion comes as part of Mars Egypt’s future strategy to increase the factory’s production capacity to 140,000 tons annually by 2025, while raising exports to 93% of total output. This positions Egypt as a key regional hub for Mars’ global supply chain.

Mars Egypt has long been regarded as a model for sustainable investment, continuous innovation, and a strong commitment to quality. Since launching its operations in Egypt, the company has not only met local market demand but has also transformed into a major exporter to markets around the world.

The Ministry of Industry and the Cabinet Media Center emphasized that expansions of this scale reflect Egypt’s improving industrial environment and the growing confidence of multinational companies in the country’s economic trajectory.
