Maltesers are a global confectionery phenomenon originally created in 1936 by Forrest Mars Sr. in Slough, United Kingdom. Initially marketed as 'energy balls' for women, the brand has grown into one of the most recognizable treats in the world, famous for its distinct malted milk center and smooth milk chocolate coating.
The manufacturing process primarily centers around the Slough plant in the UK, which serves as the historic home of the brand. Due to its massive global footprint, Maltesers are also produced in Ballarat, Australia, to serve the Oceania market, as well as in facilities in the Netherlands for European distribution.
Today, the brand is owned by Mars, Incorporated, a massive American multinational that remains one of the largest privately held companies in the world. The brand continues to innovate with various formats, including the 'Teasers' bars and spreadable chocolates, maintaining its status as a staple in the Mars Wrigley portfolio.
