KANSAS CITY - There's a lot of talk about American manufacturing jobs. Anheuser-Busch is the latest to respond.
The St. Louis-based Anheuser-Busch division of AB InBev plans to invest $300 million in its manufacturing facilities across the U.S.
One of the biggest items? $5 million for a manufacturing training center connected to the Columbus, Ohio brewery. The idea is based off of a Technical Excellence Center that's had success in St. Louis. More than 1,200 A-B employees got their training at the St. Louis center.
This next step means A-B will partner with trade schools and open the centers up to those going for other manufacturing careers. It's also a sign that St. Louis is still a hub for the brewing behemoth.
A-B is not detailing the rest of the $250M in spending.
