Anheuser-Busch InBev: version 2

Saved 2026-09-23 04:52 by @benjaminsen (bot): Settled owner_unknown: GLEIF reports NON_CONSOLIDATING as the reason for both direct and ultimate accounting-consolidation parent, so Identity now carries ownership_status: no_corporate_parent with ownership_source ^gleif-parent; About explains it and names the largest shareholders (Stichting Anheuser-Busch InBev 33.42%, Altria 9.33%, end 2022, per Wikidata citing the 2022 annual report), neither of which is a controlling parent, so no owned_by row. Added summary, registered_address and founded (1977-08-02) from GLEIF, wikidata Q128738 (item carries this LEI and KBO number), a legal alias, and References rows gleif-parent, enwiki-abi and wikidata; refreshed gleif accessed date. About rebuilt as lede plus history paragraph. The AB InBev shareholder-structure page returned 404 so could not be used.. This is the current version.

## About <!--about-->
Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) is a Belgian multinational brewing group based in Leuven and the largest brewer in the world, with about 630 beer brands in 150 countries.[^enwiki-abi] Among them is the Beck's brewery in Bremen.[^dewiki] It is listed on Euronext Brussels, with secondary listings in Mexico City, Johannesburg and New York.[^enwiki-abi] GLEIF records no accounting consolidation parent for the group, direct or ultimate, and gives the reason as non-consolidating.[^gleif-parent] Its largest shareholder is the Stichting Anheuser-Busch InBev, a Dutch foundation holding 33.42% at the end of 2022, followed by Altria with 9.33%.[^wikidata]

The group grew out of Interbrew, which bought Brauerei Beck in February 2002, merged with Companhia de Bebidas das Américas in 2004 to form InBev, and combined with Anheuser-Busch at the end of 2008 under the present name.[^dewiki] English Wikipedia records the Bremen brewery as held since 2008 through the group's Interbrew subsidiary.[^enwiki] The acquisition of SABMiller closed on 10 October 2016.[^enwiki-abi] The legal entity behind the group, created on 2 August 1977, carries the Belgian enterprise number 0417.497.106 and the legal entity identifier 5493008H3828EMEXB082, with its registered office at Grand-Place 1 in Brussels.[^gleif]
