provider to high-value segments of the food & beverage
industry, announced today that it has increased the size of its
Board of Directors to ten members and elected Charles ("Chuck") L.
Harrington to the Board effective January 1,
2022.
"We are extremely pleased to welcome Chuck to the Board," said
Alan Feldman, Board Chairman. "His
global perspective, engineering and technology expertise,
understanding of cybersecurity and risk management systems, M&A
track record, and strong relationships with governments and
businesses across sectors will add considerable value to our
Board." "As a recently retired public company CEO, Chuck will
provide invaluable support to me as we develop and implement a new
strategic direction for the Company," added Brian Deck, President and CEO of the
Company.
Chuck Harrington is the Executive
Chairman and recently retired President and Chief Executive Officer
of Parsons Corporation. He brings deep public company governance
experience and was the catalyst for Parson Corporation's highly
successful digital transformation from an engineering and
construction management firm into a global technology company, at
the leading edge of trends in cybersecurity, artificial

James M. Ringler, a member of the
Company's original Board, has elected to retire from the Board at
the May 2022 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders. The Board waived the Company's Board retirement
policy last May to allow Mr. Ringler, formerly the Chairman,
President and CEO of Premark International, Inc., a predecessor to
ITW, to remain for an additional term to retain his expertise on
the Compensation Committee through the COVID pandemic and to
provide guidance to the Company's then newly appointed CEO.
James E. Goodwin, former Chairman
and CEO of UAL Corporation and also one of the Company's original
Board members, will also retire from the Board at the Company's
May 2022 Annual Meeting in accordance

to have had the leadership of Jim
Goodwin and Jim Ringler on
JBT's Board during their nearly 14 years of service," said Feldman.

contributions and wish them all the best in their retirement,"
