## Company history

JBT traces its origins to 1884, when John Bean developed a continuous spray pump for use in his California almond orchards. Marel began with a University of Iceland research project in 1978 and was founded in 1983; its early work included onboard fish-processing scales, followed by expansion into poultry and meat processing. [23](https://jbtmarel.com/en/about-us/our-story/)

In 2008, FMC Technologies spun off its FoodTech and Airport Systems businesses as publicly traded John Bean Technologies Corporation, while Marel completed its acquisition of Stork Food Systems, expanding its food-processing operations. [24](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1135152/000119312508168458/dex991.htm) [25](https://jbtmarel.com/media/5wlhvsyc/marelfoodsystems-annual-report-2008.pdf) JBT subsequently broadened its processing portfolio through acquisitions including A&B Process Systems in 2015, Avure in 2017, Proseal and Prime Equipment Group in 2019, and Alco in 2022. [26](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/jbt-corporation-completes-acquisition-of-ab-process-systems-300152959.html) [27](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/jbt-corporation-acquires-avure-a-leading-provider-of-high-pressure-processing-solutions-300414292.html) [28](https://www.proseal.com/news/jbt-completes-proseal-acquisition/) [29](https://ir.jbtmarel.com/news/press-releases/detail/152/jbt-corporation-acquires-alco-food-machines)

JBT and Marel announced a definitive transaction agreement in April 2024. JBT completed its acquisition of Marel on January 2, 2025, and changed its name to JBT Marel Corporation; the combined company began trading under the new name on January 3.
