Anheuser-Busch, a leading American manufacturer and maker of Michelob ULTRA, Busch Light, Budweiser and Bud Light, has announced its commitment to creating and sustaining U.S. manufacturing jobs by announcing it will invest $300m in its facilities across the United States.
Building on more than 165 years of continuous investment in its people, breweries and communities, Anheuser-Busch’s Brewing Futures initiative supports American manufacturing through three key pillars:
- Creating and Sustaining Manufacturing Jobs by investing more than $300m in local communities and facilities in 2025, adding to the nearly $2bn invested over the past five years
- Building the Manufacturing Workforce for the Future by expanding its best-in-class Technical Excellence Center model beyond its hometown of St. Louis, starting with a new regional facility in Columbus, OH, and providing access to local trade schools
- Strengthening Manufacturing Career Opportunities for Veterans by leading the industry in adoption of a new digital credentialing system to support veterans in pursuing manufacturing careers
As part of the announcement, Anheuser-Busch debuted a new ad that shows how the company is brewing futures for the 65,000 Americans who help to bring its products to life every day and underscores how the company has been investing in American beers and careers since 1857.
Brendan Whitworth, CEO, Anheuser Busch said: “This new $300m investment in our manufacturing facilities across the U.S. is the latest example of Anheuser-Busch’s commitment to strengthening our local communities by creating and sustaining jobs and driving economic prosperity. Investing in our people and in new technologies and capabilities to drive industry and economic growth is core to who we are.”
Lori Chavez-DeRemer, U.S. Secretary of Labor said: “Anheuser-Busch has been a shining example of what ‘Made in America’ means, and their latest investment of $300m builds on their longtime commitment to grow our workforce and expand U.S. manufacturing. They are demonstrating exactly what it means to put American workers first, setting a standard for other companies to follow.”
