The maker of popular candies and gum, including M&M's and Milky Way, is investing $6 billion in U.S. factories. (Mars brand Kind, which was founded by "Shark Tank" investor Daniel Lubetzky, acquired Nature's Bakery in 2020.) Mars CEO Poul Weihrauch posted on LinkedIn Tuesday that 94% of Mars products sold in the U.S are "produced locally in the U.S." The company also said it has created 9,000 jobs over the last five years with its investments. "We're convinced about the long-term strength of the American consumer," Claus Aagaard, Mars' chief financial officer, told the WSJ. The Mars family reportedly has a net worth of $117 billion.
