Corporation (NYSE: JBT), a leading global technology
solutions provider to high-value segments of the food &
beverage industry, announced today that Bryant Lowery has joined JBT as Executive Vice
President & Chief Procurement Officer effective November 26, 2018.
"As JBT continues to grow, supply-chain strategy plays an
increasingly important role as we leverage our global scale," said
Tom Giacomini, Chairman, President
and Chief Executive Officer. "With the addition of Bryant to our
executive team, we have strengthened leadership of this critical
function and JBT's ability to create a competitive advantage as we
consolidate our supply chain with fewer, stronger suppliers while
improving cost, lead times, and working capital requirements."

initiatives that generate significant margin expansion," Giacomini
added.
Bryant joins JBT from Fortive, the $7
billion diversified industrial manufacturer spun off from

led global procurement activities for the Fluke Corporation. Prior
to Fortive, he held supply-chain and procurement leadership roles
