JBT wins bid for sterilisation system

JBT Corporation (NYSE: JBT) has just announced today a successful venture with a multinational food processor. The company has signed a contract of over $5 million to supply and install a continuous sterilisation system as part of a plant capacity expansion project in Asia for canned milk.

“We are very pleased with the award of this contract," said Steve Smith, vice president and general manager for JBT FoodTech. "This project is another excellent example of how FoodTech partners with our customers in the delivery of the highest and most consistent product quality with the lowest cost per unit of production."

The project has been set for shipment by the end of 2014.

According to the company, more than 50% of the world’s canned food is sterilised using its equipment. Since 1921 when it first introduced the Continuous Pressure Cooker and Cooler, JBT FoodTech has not only led, but set the standard in the food sterilisation industry.
