AB InBev to Launch Upskilling Center, Grow Manufacturing Capabilities
Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev), a BevAlc company that manufactures the Michelob Ultra, Busch Light and Budweiser brands, is continuing efforts to strengthen its U.S. footprint as part of its Brewing Futures initiative.
Ultimately, the company will invest $600 million in its U.S. operations across 2025 and 2026. This latest round is a $13 million investment in its Baldwinsville, New York, facility to meet the growing demand of Michelob Ultra and Cutwater.
AB InBev will upgrade the can and bottle lines at this facility, add new production capabilities for Cutwater, support production for Michelob, and open a technical skills training center inside the Baldwinsville Brewery.
The upskilling center is one of 15 the company is launching nationwide to train employees across mechanical, electrical, digital and operational areas.

Investments in facilities like our Baldwinsville Brewery help us strengthen our operations while creating and sustaining jobs and continuing to drive economic growth throughout Central New York State," Brendan Whitworth, CEO of Anheuser-Busch, said in a statement.
