The company hopes the deal will result in Corona joining Budweiser as a global flagship brand. Grupo Modelo is the market leader in Mexico, a highly attractive growth market for AB InBev. The combined company would lead the global beer industry with roughly 400 million hectoliters of beer volume annually and 2012 estimated revenues of $47 billion. Its operations would span 24 countries with enhanced opportunities for 150,000 employees across the globe.
