JBT Announces Major FoodTech Order
(UNITED STATES, 2/1/2010)
JBT Corporation (NYSE: JBT) has announced that its JBT FoodTech business has signed a USD 6.1 million contract to supply freezing solutions for a new plant in Hau Giang province, Vietnam. The contract is with Minh Phu Seafood Joint Stock Company (MPC), a large Vietnam-based seafood processor.
 JBT FoodTech will supply and integrate eight Advantec™ impingement freezers and four GYRoCOMPACT® spiral freezers for the new Hau Giang facility. MPC has been Vietnam's leading shrimp producer for the last ten years and this new plant will enable them to double the amount of shrimp they process for worldwide export.
Advantec™ Impingement Freezers freeze a wide range of thin or flat products, including high-value IQF products, improving throughput, yield and hygiene in deli product slicing, delivering rapid super-chill raw meat products for safer chilled distribution. The Frigoscandia GYRoCOMPACT® M-series spiral freezer is the latest generation of a successful range of self-stacking spiral freezers, chillers and proofers.
 "We are very pleased with MPC's confidence in JBT's leading freezing technologies and proven track record for field service and technical support," said Torbjorn Arvidsson, Vice President and Division Manager for JBT FoodTech's Food Solutions and Services Division. "This project is an excellent example of how JBT FoodTech partners with global customers and supports the development of regional food industries."
The project is currently scheduled to be operational in the fourth quarter of 2010.
