(Newark, NJ) — Anheuser-Busch is closing its facility in Newark, New Jersey. The company says the plant along Routes 1/9 will close early next year. It had been in Newark for nearly 75 years. It is being sold to the Goodman Group which plans to use the site for industrial manufacturing and logistics.
The company says it is offering employees in Newark jobs at other locations along with money to move and training to learn new skills. Employees who don’t want to be relocated will be offered severance packages.
Many of the company’s core brands are brewed at the Newark facility, including Budweiser and Bud Light, Busch, Busch Light, Natural Light and Rolling Rock.
