Molson Coors Brewing Co. is a global brewing company with 5,200 employees, nine breweries and operations in more than 30 countries. Its American roots date to 1872, when German immigrant Adolph Coors bought a bottling plant in Colorado. The Coors family took the company public in 1975 and it merged with Canada’s Molson Breweries in 2005 amid consolidation in the beverage business. Last year, the company and SABMiller PLC combined their U.S. and Puerto Rican operations to create a MillerCoors LLC subsidiary. Molson Coors’ 2008 gross sales were $6.7 billion. In addition, the company draws 42% of MillerCoors’ annual sales of $7.5 billion.
