Primo Brands states over 12,600 associates at December 31, 2025 across the U.S. and Canada, 330 of them under collective bargaining agreements, and describes manufacturing, distribution and customer service in one beverage business, so one pattern takes the whole workforce by description (c).

The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.

What follows from the reading

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 15% now, 22% at the end of 2027, 24% at the end of 2028, 24% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 24% desk work, 19% people work and 56% body work.

By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 76% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 17% becomes checking a model's work and 7% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.
