AB TV tours Mars GCC's new $40m factory in Dubai to find out about the chocolate maker's expansion plans.

The company tells AB TV the investment in the 6,000 sq m factory showed its commitment to the region.

Last year, Mars GCC posted net sales of more than $450m and Ahmed Bayoumi, general manager of Mars GCC, said he was targeting further growth.

The Dubai manufacturing facilities will continue distributing products to more than 20 countries in the GCC, Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East, spreading from UK to Taiwan.
