Anheuser-Busch invests $300M to expand beer manufacturing facilities across the United States
Anheuser-Busch has announced plans to invest $300 million in its manufacturing facilities across the United States. The company, which produces beers including Michelob ULTRA, Budweiser, Bud Light, and Busch Light, is making this investment to support its operations and workforce, adding to nearly $2 billion invested in the past five years.
As part of the investment, Anheuser-Busch is expanding its Technical Excellence Center model beyond St. Louis, Missouri, starting with a new regional facility in Columbus, Ohio. These centers are designed to upskill employees through hands-on training and are expected to benefit the entire regional technical workforce over the next three years. In partnership with local trade schools and the National Association of Manufacturers’ Manufacturing Institute, the company will also open these centers to students and educators to help develop future talent pipelines.
This investment supports the company’s goals to create and sustain manufacturing jobs, enhance operational capabilities at its 100 U.S. facilities, and strengthen career opportunities for veterans through a new digital credentialing system.

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, added, “Anheuser-Busch has been a shining example of what 'Made in America' means, and their latest investment of $300 million 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.”
