Read personal reflections from just a few of the people who help make up our Global business, as published in our 2008 Annual Report.

Rick Shippey
Brewmaster, St. Louis Brewery
"Anheuser-Busch brewmasters have some of the highest quality standards in the industry. From selecting the finest, all-natural ingredients, to tasting the final beer, a rigorous and detailed quality assurance program is followed wherever Budweiser is brewed - to guarantee that each bottle, can or keg of Budweiser is the highestquality beer possible, and that every Budweiser has the same refreshingly drinkable taste, wherever it is sold."
Brewmaster, St. Louis Brewery

Ingrid De Ryck
Director Packaging Procurement, Western Europe
"Champions can best be seen as a huge Anheuser-Busch InBev umbrella, covering direct material savings initiatives in all Zones. It is allowing us to see for the very first time ever all the actions that all the Zones are taking to reduce costs. It has grown into a global database of initiatives which are being actively used by all Zones as they drive efficiencies for the business."
Director Packaging Procurement, Western Europe

Trevor Hansen
Vice President Anheuser-Busch Recycling Corporation
"Since Anheuser-Busch Recycling came into operation in 1978, we have recycled more than 430 billion aluminum beverage containers. Over the years, our employees have become recycling experts and enjoy working with local communities to develop creative solutions and educational programs. We try to show people that we can each make a difference to the environment by recycling, even if it is only one can at a time."
Vice President Anheuser-Busch Recycling Corporation

Otto Feistler
Regional Process Manager, Brazil
"Quality control is vital in producing only the highest quality beers for our consumers. As the manager of beer processes at our Rio de Janeiro plant, I am proud to say that Brahma, Skol, Bohemia, and Antarctica have all achieved a top three rating as part of our Corporate Quality brand ratings in 2008. As a whole, the Rio de Janeiro plant was rated first place along with three other plants in Brazil. In a span of 19 months, we had no product returns."
Regional Process Manager, Brazil

Hernán Mosquera
Global Management Trainee, Latin America South
"Anheuser-Busch InBev´s Global Management Trainee Program lets you rotate through the different functional areas of the world’s leading brewer. The global induction at the Global Headquarters in Belgium was a great experience. We got to know the fundamentals of Anheuser-Busch InBev´s culture and 10 principles and learned how you can develop your career within the company - a company that is looking for only the very best people ! I am now working back in my Zone and my assignment gives me the feeling that what I am doing is really having a positive impact on the success of our company."
Global Management Trainee, Latin America South

Ljubisa Djuric
Warehouse Supervisor, Germany
"Increasing efficiency is vital to our daily operations. I devised a colorcoded pallet system for forklift drivers which makes them more efficient in implementing the FIFO (first-in first-out) system of loading trucks at the same time as decreasing the chances of loading the wrong beers."
Warehouse Supervisor, Germany

Yu Kefeng
SAP Operator, Zhejiang Brewery, China
"I took the initiative to design forms for the SAP rollout in our brewery. The systems are user-friendly and faster than any commercially available packages which will also allow for a faster rollout of SAP to other breweries in our market."
