A diversified American company focused on chemical products. Founded in 1883 by John Bean as Bean Spray Pump. Renamed John Bean Manufacturing in 1928, it merged with Anderson Burn-Glover and Sprague Sells to list on the San Francisco Stock Exchange, renamed itself Food Machinery in 1929, Food Machinery & Chemical in 1948, and changed its name to its current one in 1961. During this time, it absorbed related companies and expanded into chemical products, packaging materials, and defense-related sectors. It also actively engaged in overseas activities. In 1992, it acquired the fire suppression and water treatment chemicals division of Swiss chemical company Ciba-Geigy. In 2001, it spun off its machinery business to establish FMC Technologies.
