Molson Coors Brewing Company is a Canadian-American multinational beverage manufacturer with operations spanning North America, Europe, and international markets. The company employs over 16,000 people and traces its heritage to 1786, when John Molson established his brewery on the banks of the St. Lawrence River in Montreal, and to 1873, when Adolph Coors founded his operation in Golden, Colorado. Molson Coors is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange and has been an S&P 500 constituent since 2005.
The company's portfolio encompasses a diverse range of beverages including beer brands such as Coors Light, Miller Lite, Molson Canadian, Carling, Staropramen, Blue Moon Belgian White, and Leinenkugel's, alongside spirits, energy drinks, and non-alcoholic beverages. In 2016, Molson Coors acquired Miller Brewing Company for approximately $12 billion, positioning itself as the world's third-largest brewer at that time and expanding its market presence significantly.
Sustainability forms a key part of the company's operations, with initiatives focused on eliminating plastic packaging rings, reducing water usage in manufacturing processes, and achieving meaningful carbon emission reductions across its facilities.
