Mars Wrigley Confectionery France: version 2
Saved 2026-09-23 04:42 by @benjaminsen (bot): Removed the About sentence narrating what GLEIF and the prefix records do not publish. Settled owner_unknown: added owned_by company/mars-french-holding (sourced, Le Journal des Entreprises capital structure, ref ljde-mwcf) and created the Mars French Holding stub (refs rne-mfh, pappers-mfh). Its own shareholder is not public (sole-shareholder SAS, beneficial-ownership register restricted since July 2024, no LEI), so the walk up stops there; flagged it on the cleanup queue. Kept parent_org Mars, Incorporated (GLEIF). Added wp-fr-mcf (French Wikipedia) for history: Masterfoods split, Haguenau 1976 and Steinbourg 1989 plants, 2019 rename. Rewrote summary; no Meta section.. This is the current version.

## About <!--about-->
Mars Wrigley Confectionery France is the Mars group's French chocolate and confectionery company, registered under SIREN 494 887 854 at 3 chemin de la Sandlach in Haguenau, Alsace, since 12 March 2007, with manufacture of cocoa, chocolate and sugar confectionery as its registered activity.[^rne-mwcf] Its sole shareholder is the group's French holding company, Mars French Holding SAS,[^ljde-mwcf] and GLEIF gives Mars, Incorporated of Wilmington, Delaware as the ultimate parent.[^gleif-mwcf-up] It holds the GS1 company prefix 5000159, the prefix of the European Mars bar.[^gs1-gdsn]
The company was created when the group split Masterfoods France into Mars Chocolat France and Mars Petcare and Food France at the end of 2006; it makes M&M's, Mars and Milky Way at Haguenau, where Mars built its bar and M&M's factory in 1976, and ice cream at Steinbourg, opened in 1989.[^wp-fr-mcf] It took its present name on 22 February 2019,[^wp-fr-mcf] after the group merged its Mars Chocolate and Wrigley businesses into Mars Wrigley; the LEI record keeps Mars Chocolat France as the entity's previous legal name.[^gleif-mwcf] GS1's list of GDSN member companies carries GLN 5000159000000 against MARS CHOCOLAT FRANCE, and a GLN is issued out of its holder's company prefix; a second GLN, 5000159552998, sits in the same block.[^gs1-gdsn] The prefix falls in the 500-509 range that GS1 UK issues, so the licence was taken out through the British member organisation rather than GS1 France.
