Anheuser-Busch unveils second aluminum bottle line in Missouri
Anheuser-Busch and Governor Jay Nixon today unveiled the new $160 million aluminum bottle line at the Metal Container Corporation (MCC) facility in Arnold, MO. As part of the company’s strategy to provide innovative packaging options for the nation’s favorite beers, the second-ever aluminum bottle line increases production of the popular package as the 2016 baseball season and the busy summer beer-selling season continues.
“The aluminum bottle brings a modern look and convenient way to enjoy a beer at the ballpark or while cooking out before a game. The new line will allow us to share this phenomenal package with even more Budweiser and Bud Light customers,” says João Castro Neves, zone president North America and chief executive officer, Anheuser-Busch. “We are proud that this investment has allowed us to add more jobs at our plant in Arnold, and we appreciate the support from Governor Nixon, as well as St. Louis and Arnold officials.”
