Anheuser-Busch InBev (US)

Anheuser-Busch is best known as North America's King of Beers, as a result of its Budweiser and Michelob brands. But in a shock development in 2008, this giant group was acquired by international rival InBev for a whopping $52bn. That deal created a mammoth new business, the world's largest brewer by a considerable margin. The US arm now operates under the name Anheuser-Busch InBev. Anheuser's other interests are gradually being consolidated or divested. Currently, the group is also one of the largest theme park operators in the US (with Busch Gardens and Seaworld, among others), is the #2 manufacturer of aluminium containers, and is also involved in recycling, malt production and railway repair. At the same time, Anheuser-Busch's heritage brands are likely to benefit from its new owner's considerable strength in global markets.
