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 between 2025 and 2026 to modernize its production facilities and enhance training for its employees.
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 company stated that 99% of the beer it sells in the United States is currently produced domestically.
The brewer highlighted that skills development is a central focus of the project. It plans to open 15 additional 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 for veterans, aiming to facilitate the transition of former or active members of the armed forces into industrial careers within the private sector.
