John Bean Technologies Corporation (“JBT”) is a leading global technology solutions provider to high-value segments of the food processing and air transportation industries. We design, manufacture, test and service technologically sophisticated systems and products for customers through our JBT FoodTech and JBT AeroTech segments.

We have a long history of leadership in the industries we serve. Food industry machinery was the foundation of the original Bean Spray Pump Company founded by John Bean in the 1880s. The Bean Spray Pump technology was also at the foundation of our first airport product when a John Bean Spray Pump was adapted to become an aircraft deicer in the 1960s. The Bean Spray Pump Company is the foundation on which FMC Corporation, FMC Technologies and now JBT Corporation were built.
