Anheuser-Busch, the American subsidiary of the brewing giant AB InBev, announced on Wednesday that it plans to invest up to $600 million in the United States from 2025 to 2026 to modernize its production capacity and strengthen employee training.
This investment, part of the internal program Brewing Futures, aims to support the growth of its main brands, including Michelob Ultra, which has become the top-selling beer in the United States and one of the most dynamic in terms of growth, according to market research firm Circana.
The group stated that 99% of the beer it sells in the United States is currently produced domestically.
The brewer mentioned that developing skills is a central focus of the project. It plans to open an additional 15 technical training centers at its industrial sites across the country.
In partnership with specialized technical education institutions, the company aims to train or enhance the skills of over 90% of its manufacturing workforce in the next five years.
“By strengthening our manufacturing operations, we are creating sustainable careers – not just jobs – while investing in the essential people for our success,” said Brendan Whitworth, CEO of Anheuser-Busch, in a statement.
The program also includes a component aimed at veterans, to facilitate the transition of former or current members of the armed forces into industrial careers within the private sector.
