Anheuser Busch being taken over by Belgium company
Posted by Homer2680 on June 11, 2008 |
No longer will “The King of Beers” live in America, he is being purchased by a Belgium company called InBev. Today InBev offered $46,000,000,000.00 for Anheuser Busch. InBev owns Becks, Bass, and Stella.
The Busch family will still have ownership in the company, roughly 4 percent. This takeover was not supported by the Busch family. InBev has bolstered their bottom line by cutting cost. Does this mean some of the 12 Budweiser plants around the US will close? Will this close any of their theme parks? What will happen to the Clydesdale’s?
InBev was the 2nd largest brewery in the world, following Heineken at number one. Coors merged with Moslon a few years ago to form Molson Coors Brewing company, so I don’t know if that makes them an American company or Canadian Company. Remember if you will that Miller is owned by a South African company. So the days of the American brewery are over.
This is breaking news and I am sure details will follow.
