Mars Wrigley is set to eliminate 307 jobs at its Newark, New Jersey facility as the company consolidates its North American snacking operations in Chicago. Mars said the decision follows a comprehensive review of its Mars Snacking North American office footprint and is consistent with its previously announced plans to relocate operations to Chicago. The closure comes after Mars invested $100 million to expand its footprint in Chicago, where Mars’ global headquarters is located. The investment is expected to support the company’s longer-term consolidation of its snacking operations in the city. Mars Wrigley, a division of Mars Incorporated, owns a portfolio of major confectionery brands including M&Ms, Snickers, Milky Way, Twix and Skittles.
