Anheuser-Busch announces a $300 Million investment in manufacturing operations across the US and launches a new company ad brewing futures for 65,000 Americans.

St. Louis, MO – May 12, 2025 – Today, Anheuser-Busch (NYSE: BUD), a leading American manufacturer and maker of Michelob ULTRA, Busch Light, Budweiser and Bud Light, proudly expanded its commitment to creating and sustaining U.S. manufacturing jobs by announcing it will invest $300 million 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:

  1. Creating and Sustaining Manufacturing Jobs by investing more than $300 million in local communities and facilities in 2025, adding to the nearly $2 billion invested over the past five years
  2. 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
  3. 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.

Jay Timmons, President and CEO of the National Association of Manufacturers said: “Anheuser-Busch’s $300 million investment is more than a commitment to manufacturing in America—it’s a commitment to America’s future. By expanding technical training and strengthening our industrial base in Columbus, and with their support of the Manufacturing Institute’s Heroes MAKE America initiative, they are opening doors of opportunity for manufacturing workers across this country. This investment will help fuel our economy, lift up communities and secure the promise of manufacturing in America for generations to come.”

Anheuser-Busch has a longstanding history of supporting those who serve, and today, more than 10 percent of the company’s workforce is made up of veterans and active-duty military, with a nearly 100 percent retention rate and nearly 60 percent serving in manufacturing roles.

While investments in these areas are not new for Anheuser-Busch, the Brewing Futures initiatives represents the latest evolution in its longstanding efforts to drive economic prosperity in communities across the country and create opportunity in American manufacturing for generations to come.
