“Today we took the very difficult but necessary decision to eliminate a number of positions across our corporate organization,” said Brendan Whitworth, Anheuser-Busch CEO. “While we never take these decisions lightly, we want to ensure that our organization continues to be set for future long-term success.”

The company is headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, while North American headquarters can be found at One Busch Place in St. Louis.
