The company said the expansion will increase manufacturing capacity and invest in workforce development through 15 new training centers and veteran programs. The move aligns with broader industry and government efforts to boost domestic production and rebuild the manufacturing workforce, echoing calls from the Trump administration.
Anheuser-Busch will spend the $600 million over two years, from 2025 through 2026, focusing on brewery upgrades, technology and production capacity. The Wednesday announcement expands upon a $300 million investment announced in 2025.
“By strengthening our manufacturing operations, we are creating sustainable careers – not just jobs – and investing in the people who are vital to our success,” said Whitworth in a press release viewed by Fox News Digital.
“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,” he added.
