Anheuser-Busch (NYSE: BUD) announced it will increase its investment in U.S. manufacturing operations to $600 million over 2025 and 2026, according to a company press release.

The investment forms part of the company's Brewing Futures initiative and focuses on three areas: expanding manufacturing operations, opening 15 new technical skills training centers at U.S. facilities, and strengthening manufacturing career opportunities for veterans.

The funding will advance technology systems, support workforce and supply chain through campus upgrades, and increase production and packaging capabilities. Anheuser-Busch produces 99% of its beer sold in the U.S. domestically.

"Anheuser-Busch's $600 million investment is a testament to our unwavering commitment to the future of American manufacturing," said CEO Brendan Whitworth. "By strengthening our manufacturing operations, we are creating sustainable careers – not just jobs – and investing in the people who are vital to our success."

The company plans to upskill more than 90% of its manufacturing workforce over five years through the new training centers. More than 2,700 employees have received training since the opening of its Technical Excellence Center in St. Louis in 2022.

Anheuser-Busch has partnered with trade schools across the U.S. to create pathways for manufacturing careers and has integrated more than 20 credentials that translate military training into manufacturing skills since adopting the Manufacturing Institute's Manufacturing Readiness Badges in May 2025.

The company operates as a manufacturer of beer brands including Michelob ULTRA, Busch Light, Budweiser and Bud Light, and employs 65,000 Americans according to the press release.
