Anheuser-Busch To Invest $600M, Build 15 Training Centers To Upskill Majority Of U.S. Workforce

The Budweiser brewer plans to upskill 90% of its U.S. manufacturing workforce as part of a broader push to modernize operations and expand domestic production.

Anheuser-Busch InBev is investing $600 million in U.S. manufacturing facilities over two years, the American subsidiary of the world’s top brewer said on Wednesday, in line with President Donald Trump’s ‘Made in America’ push.

The company, which had earlier announced a $300 million investment in its U.S. facilities for 2025, said its expanded investment would now total $600 million across both 2025 and 2026.
Several global firms over the last year have increased investments in the U.S. to avoid tariffs and align with the Trump administration’s policy to localize more manufacturing in the country.
Anheuser-Busch said the investments will advance technology systems, support its workforce and supply chain through various campus upgrades and increase production and packaging capabilities for brands like Michelob ULTRA.
The brewer plans to use the investments to open 15 technical skills training centers across its U.S. facilities.
It will also upskill more than 90% of its manufacturing workforce in the country over the next five years.
