Anheuser-Busch, American manufacturer and maker of Michelob ULTRA, Busch Light, Budweiser and Bud Light, has announced it is expanding its commitment to creating and sustaining American manufacturing jobs by increasing its investment in its US operations to $600 million across 2025 and 2026.

Part of Anheuser-Busch’s ongoing Brewing Futures initiative, the announcement builds on the company’s more than 165-year legacy of investing in its people, breweries and communities, with new developments across three key pillars:

1. Creating and sustaining manufacturing jobs by increasing investments in its US operations to $600 million total over two years.

3. Strengthening manufacturing career opportunities for veterans by helping former and current service members pursue manufacturing careers in the private sector.

Brendan Whitworth, CEO of Anheuser-Busch, said: “Anheuser-Busch’s $600 million investment is a testament to our unwavering commitment to the future of American manufacturing. By strengthening our manufacturing operations, we are creating sustainable careers – not just jobs – and investing in the people who are vital to our success. We are proud to continue building the next generation of manufacturing leaders through our new technical training centers while also providing new opportunities in the workforce for our nation’s veterans.”  

Jay Timmons, president and CEO of the National Association of Manufacturers, said: “Anheuser-Busch’s expanded investment is a commitment to the American worker and the future of our nation’s strength in manufacturing. By partnering with the Manufacturing Institute, Anheuser-Busch is powering a new generation of opportunity for the world’s finest workforce – the manufacturing workforce. These local technical skills training centers and partnerships with trade schools will transform careers and enable the manufacturing workforce of today and tomorrow to develop the critical skills they need to build life-changing careers, grow our economy and shape American communities.”
