Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Ambev SA is moving forward with studies and investments to expand and modernize its premium beer portfolio in Brazil, focusing mainly on the South and Central-West regions. The projects include new high-speed bottling lines and plant upgrades that will allow the company to produce a wider range of packaging formats, particularly glass bottles.
A key project is underway at Ambev's Rio de Janeiro (RJ) brewery, where the company plans to invest more than R$105 million (US$20.1 million) in a new bottling line dedicated to Corona. The glass-bottle line will have a capacity of 50,000 bottles per hour for the 210-milliliter Corona format. Construction is expected to continue through November 2026, with completion estimated for December 2026. Industrial Info Resources offers more information on the effort in its Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Food & Beverage Plant and Project databases, where readers can find details--including construction schedules, investment values and necessary equipment--in a plant profile and project report.
Ambev is also evaluating additional investments at its facilities in Viamão (RS), Manaus (AM), and Cuiabá (MT). Projects could exceed R$1 billion (US$199.5 million) over the next two years, reflecting a broader trend toward modernization, expansion, and portfolio diversification in Brazil's beverage industry.
Ambev's plans point to a period of strong investment and industrial renewal in Brazil's beverage sector in the coming years.
