CHICAGO, May 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JBT Corporation (NYSE: JBT) announced today that its JBT FoodTech business has signed contracts valued at $5.4 million to supply freezing solutions for two Germany-based food processing plants. The contracts are with OSI Food Solutions GmbH, a German subsidiary of the Chicago-based OSI Group.
