Mars Petcare chooses custom office in Tribes expansion at Amstelgebouw
Amsterdam, 10 June 2025 – Mars Petcare, a global leader in pet care, has recently opened a new office space at Tribes Inspiring Workplaces in the Amstelgebouw in Amsterdam. In response to the growing demand for flexible and high-quality office environments, Tribes delivered a customized office space for Mars Petcare that was set up quickly and efficiently. This centrally located workspace perfectly meets Mars Petcare’s needs and supports their growth and identity.
Managed Suite: exclusive, flexible and ready-to-use
For Mars Petcare, a so-called Managed Suite was created: an exclusive, self-contained office space tailored entirely to the company’s identity and requirements. Tribes managed the entire process, from interior design to operational support. The combination of customization, quality and unburdening makes this solution attractive for organizations seeking a private space with the benefits of flexibility and professional service.
