LYSANDER, N.Y. — Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE: BUD) today announced it will invest $10 million in its brewery in the town of Lysander to increase production of non-alcoholic products, primarily Teavana, and to install a new multi-packer machine.
Teavana is a tea brand owned by Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX). Anheuser-Busch InBev and Starbucks announced a partnership last year in which the brewer would produce and package a line of craft iced-tea products for the coffee company.
The Lysander investment is part of more than $500 million in capital investments Anheuser-Busch InBev said it is making in 2017 in its U.S. breweries, distribution centers, and packaging and innovation projects, according to a news release the global brewing giant issued today. The company’s total spending on these facilities will reach $2 billion by 2020.
