Maltesers Chocolate Easter Egg

Maltesers is a popular confectionery brand known for its malted milk centers surrounded by smooth milk chocolate. Originally created by Forrest Mars Sr. in the United Kingdom in 1936, it was first sold as 'energy balls' marketed toward women. Over the decades, Maltesers has become a staple of the global confectionery market, particularly well-loved in Europe and Australia.

While the brand has deep British roots, it is now part of the massive snacking portfolio of Mars, Incorporated. The manufacturing of Maltesers products, including seasonal items like Easter eggs, occurs in multiple locations across the globe, including key facilities in the UK and Australia to serve diverse markets. As a private, family-owned American multinational, Mars, Inc. remains the ultimate owner and controller of the brand, maintaining its status as a leading figure in the global food industry.
