Anheuser-Busch Investing $300 Million Across U.S. Manufacturing Operations

Anheuser-Busch said it will invest $300 million in its facilities across the United States.

The investment, which adds to the nearly $2 billion committed over the past five years, will support the expansion of the company's Technical Excellence Center model beyond its hometown of St. Louis, starting with a new regional facility in Columbus, Ohio, where it will upskill its entire regional technical workforce over the next three years.

It will also support a new digital credentialing system to support veterans in pursuing manufacturing careers. The company is partnering with the Manufacturing Institute's Heroes MAKE America program to become the first American manufacturer to adopt a new digital credentialing system that translates military experience into skills needed for careers in manufacturing.

Anheuser-Busch said more than 10 percent of the its 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.
