Mars Petcare Inc.
Mars Petcare and The Nutro Company broke ground on a US$87 million world-class Regional Innovation Center in Thompson's Station, Tenn., in May 2012. The four-building, 90-acre campus will be the companies' home base for creating future pet care products for its North American market. Buildings will include an Innovation Center, Product Development Center, Shared Services building, and a Pet Health and Nutrition Center, largely based on the company's Waltham Centre for Pet Nutrition in the UK.
