The history of the “Bean Pump” starts in 1883 when the founder and namesake, John Bean, built the first agricultural spray pumps for commercial use.  Over the next hundred years, the company name would go through a number of iterations including Bean Spray Pumps, John Bean Technologies or JBT, Food Machinery Corporation or FMC, back to the simple name commonly used today, Bean Pump.
