ULYANOVSK, September 3 (RIA Novosti) - Global company Mars is to produce pet food in Russia’s Volga city of Ulyanovsk, the region’s governor Sergei Morozov told RIA Novosti.
“Today Mars launched its first production line turning out pet food in the Ulyanovsk Region,” Morozov said, adding that total investment in the project was over 1.5 billion rubles (around $47 million) which would generate around $9.5 million in taxes for the local budget.
He also said that around 70 local jobs would be created.
“As production develops another 100 jobs will be created,” the governor said.
Morozov also said the region was managing to attract investment despite the financial crisis.
“This plant is not the last investment initiative. At the moment a confectionary plant is being constructed in the Ulyanovsk Region,” Morozov said.
Mars is a global, family-owned company producing snackfoods, petcare products, food and drinks which are consumed across the globe.
