JBT Corporation has signed a definitive agreement to acquire US-based food safety solutions provider Prevenio for a consideration of $170m.
Previously known as CMS Technology, Prevenio offers pathogen protection through its unique anti-microbial delivery solution that enhances food safety and integrity.
The company provides food safety solutions primarily for the poultry industry.
It also has a full-service laboratory in Bogart, Georgia, which specialises in microbiology focused on both field and research and development testing.
JBT executive vice-president and Protein president Paul Sternlieb said: “In addition to the food safety and integrity benefits, Prevenio provides proprietary turnkey solutions to our customers and ensures the safe and effective delivery of anti-microbials.
“We are excited with the prospect of enhancing Prevenio’s already strong growth profile by leveraging JBT’s global customer base while also supporting the development of its solutions for non-poultry applications.”
Following the acquisition, JBT will be able to improve its recurring revenue portfolio and advance its investment in solutions that support the daily operations of its customers.
Completion of the transaction is expected to take place early in the third quarter this year.
JBT president and CEO Brian Deck said: “JBT’s investment in Prevenio furthers our support in the protection of our customers’ brands and reputation by focusing on the prevention of foodborne illness.
“Prevenio’s solutions ensure anti-microbial dosing precision and effectiveness with automated process controls, allowing it to provide a tailored approach to protect food and flavour profile.
“Prevenio further broadens JBT’s non-equipment offering while helping customers protect against pathogen threats in their daily plant operations.”
JBT provides global technology solutions to high-value segments of the food and beverage industry.
