Maltesers Chocolate Malt Spheres

Maltesers are a global confectionery favorite, consisting of a honeycomb malt centre surrounded by smooth milk chocolate. The product was first created by Forrest Mars Sr. in 1936 and launched in the United Kingdom in 1937, where it gained massive popularity as a 'less fattening' chocolate treat for women.

While the brand has deep British roots, it is produced in several locations to meet international demand. The primary manufacturing facility remains in Slough, United Kingdom, but Maltesers are also produced in Australia, Canada, and parts of Europe. This ensures the product remains fresh and available across its major markets worldwide.

Today, the brand is owned and managed by Mars, Incorporated, a powerhouse in the global snacks and pet care industries. Despite its growth and various ownership transitions within the Mars family empire, the headquarters for the ultimate parent company remains in Virginia, United States.
