JBT Corporation Acquires PLF International Limited

JBT Corporation, a global technology solutions provider to high-value segments of the food and beverage industry, has acquired UK-based PLF International Limited, a specialist manufacturer of filling machines and complete turnkey line project management for the global powder product market. The acquisition will enable JBT to bring PLF fillers – which combine with JBT’s own seamers – to a much wider marketplace, according to a JBT press release.

PLF’s range of filling machines are all built to facilitate the stringent demands of the food, beverage, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, being easy to clean with minimum giveaway and gentle product handling, according to the company. They can be semi or fully automatic and are built so performance can be enhanced to meet production demands.

As well as powdered infant milk, the integration of PLF will also open the door for JBT to enter the powdered nutraceutical and added vitamin drink segment; a market that will again complement JBT’s existing business.
