WILLIAMSBURG— Anheuser-Busch announced it is expanding its commitment to creating and sustaining American manufacturing jobs by increasing its investment in its U.S. operations to $600 million across 2025 and 2026.
Part of Anheuser-Busch’s ongoing Brewing Futures initiative, the company says that this announcement builds on its more than 165-year legacy of investing in its people, breweries and communities, with new developments across three key pillars:
- Creating and Sustaining Manufacturing Jobs by increasing investments in its U.S. operations to $600 million total over two years.
- Building the Manufacturing Workforce for the Future by opening 15 new technical skills training centers at its facilities across the U.S. and collaborating with technical trade schools.
- Strengthening Manufacturing Career Opportunities for Veterans by helping former and current service members pursue manufacturing careers in the private sector.
“In Williamsburg, we’re all about great teams and great beer. This announcement reinforces Anheuser-Busch’s commitment to the exceptional team we have here in Williamsburg, providing resources to continually modernize our operations and, most importantly, investing in the people who are the heart of our brewery. The new technical skills training center will strengthen long-term career opportunity, enhance the skills of our world-class team, and ensure our facility remains a pillar of the local economy,” said Tom Jokerst, Anheuser-Busch Williamsburg Brewery Senior General Manager.
“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,” said Brendan Whitworth, CEO of Anheuser-Busch.
Details about the investment in Williamsburg specifically are expected later this year. To learn more about Anheuser-Busch, visit the official website.
