Anheuser-Busch announced a $30 million investment in its Jacksonville, Florida Brewery and Can Plant. The investment will go toward upgrading brewing and packaging equipment to fuel increased production of Michelob ULTRA, America\u2019s top-selling and fastest-growing beer.<\/p>\n

This latest $30 million investment in its Jacksonville facilities is part of Anheuser-Busch\u2019s ongoing Brewing Futures initiative, through which the company invested more than $300 million in its U.S. facilities in the last year to create and sustain U.S. manufacturing jobs.<\/p>\n

\"Anheuser-Busch<\/a>Building on more than 165 years of continuous investment in its people, breweries, and communities, Anheuser-Busch\u2019s Brewing Futures initiative supports American manufacturing through three key pillars:<\/p>\n

creating and sustaining manufacturing jobs
\nadvancing technical skills training
\nstrengthening manufacturing career opportunities for veterans<\/p>\n

\u201cInvesting in our Jacksonville facilities enables us to brew more of the highest-quality American beers that consumers love, including Michelob ULTRA, the #1 top-selling and fastest-growing beer in America,\u201d said Brendan Whitworth, CEO, Anheuser-Busch. \u201cInvestments like these are incredibly important because they help us to enhance our operations while also sustaining jobs and driving local economic growth in the communities where we operate.\u201d<\/p>\n

This investment will expand the Jacksonville Brewery\u2019s capacity to produce fast-growing beers like Michelob ULTRA, including upgrades to bottling lines and brewing tanks. According to Circana, the leader in providing data to consumer-packaged goods companies, Michelob ULTRA is the #1 top-selling beer nationwide and the state of Florida, and Nielsen also confirms the brand is #1 in bars and restaurants across the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnheuser-Busch\u2019s announcement of a new $30 million investment to expand production at its Jacksonville facilities is excellent news for Northeast Florida,\u201d U.S. Representative Aaron Bean said. \u201cThis kind of bold, forward-looking investment will create new jobs, provide more opportunities, boost our state\u2019s economy, and further solidify our region as a cornerstone of American manufacturing. Thanks to the Working Families Tax Cut, pro-growth investments like this are becoming more possible, empowering businesses to grow, workers to succeed, and communities to prosper.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBy upgrading brewing and packaging capabilities with a $30 million investment, Anheuser-Busch is helping position Jacksonville to grow its manufacturing sector and strengthen our workforce development in this area,\u201d said Florida Speaker Pro Tempore, Wyman Duggan, a Jacksonville Republican. \u201cWe look forward to working together to turn this investment into a sustained opportunity for the hard-working people of Jacksonville.\u201d<\/p>\n
