皮恩喷雾泵公司
由约翰·皮恩在1883年成立于加利福尼亚州洛斯加托斯。该公司的第一个产品是一个活塞泵。皮恩发明了之后在该地区许多果园使用的泵喷杀虫剂。皮恩发明的喷雾器原件现在展示在福布斯米尔博物馆里。洛斯加托斯市中心的皮恩大街就是以约翰·皮恩的名字命名。
食品机械化学公司
1928年，皮恩喷雾泵公司收购了安德森·巴恩格罗夫尔公司和斯普拉格公司，并更名为食品机械有限公司，并开始使用FMC的缩写。1941年，FMC收到一份合同，为美国国防部设计和建造一种登陆装甲车。其后，FMC还研发了M113型（APC）装甲运兵车和布雷德利战车，以及和克莱斯勒合作研发的XR311实验型战车。
FMC同样销售肉类生产设备的化学消毒剂，用来减少屠宰场的病原体，产品主要杀灭大肠杆菌和沙门氏菌。FMC持有一个屠宰生产线消毒流程的专利。
公司分拆
FMC于1948年再次更名为食品机械和化工公司。在1961年恢复原名FMC公司。在20世纪80年代，90年代和2000年代，FMC公司开始将不同部门分拆为独立的公司，包括联合防务公司（United Defense），FMC科技（FMC Technologies），并出售了最古老的约翰·皮恩公司。
2006年FMC公司庆祝在纽约证券交易所上市75周年。
皮埃尔·布龙已从2010年1月1日起接替威廉·沃尔特成为总裁兼首席执行官。

[edit] History
[edit] The Bean Spray Pump Company
Founded in 1883 as the Bean Spray Pump Company in Los Gatos, California[1] by John Bean. The company's first product was a piston pump. Bean invented the pump to spray insecticide on the many fruit orchards in the area. A Bean sprayer is on display at the Forbes Mill museum there.[2] Bean Avenue in downtown Los Gatos is named after John Bean.
[edit] FMC
In 1928, Bean Spray Pump purchased Anderson-Barngrover Co. and Sprague-Sells, and changed its name to Food Machinery Corporation, and began using the initials FMC. FMC received a contract to design and build landing vehicles tracked for the United States War Department in 1941. FMC also built the M113 (APC) Armored Personnel Carrier and the Bradley Fighting Vehicle as well as the XR311 at its former facility in Santa Clara, California. The troubled development of the Bradley was satirized in the 1998 HBO movie The Pentagon Wars. In the movie FMC was fictionalized as A.O.C corporation. Bean also manufactured fire fighting equipment in the 1960s through the 1980s under the FMC and the Bean names.
FMC sells chemical products used by beef and poultry processors to reduce pathogens, such a E. coli and salmonella, on uncooked beef and poultry. [3]. FMC obtained a patent on a method for sanitizing fowl that has been killed, plucked and eviscerated by contacting the fowl with an aqueous acid solution and maintaining that contact for a time sufficient to sanitize the fowl. [4].
[edit] Spinoffs
FMC changed names again in 1948, becoming Food Machinery and Chemical Corporation. In 1961 the name was changed to FMC Corporation. In the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, FMC Corporation began spinning several of its divisions into separate companies, including United Defense and FMC Technologies, and selling its divisions, including the John Bean Company, now a subsidiary of Snap-on.
[edit] Scandals
During the 1980s, FMC was involved in the insider trading scandals hitting Wall Street when Ivan Boesky used illegally gained information regarding a restructuring plan to turn a $975,000 profit.[5]
In 2009, CBS' television news magazine 60 Minutes ran an expose discussing the use of an FMC Corporation produced chemical, Furadan, as a poison used by Kenyan farmers to kill African lions. The piece suggested that the Furadan was a serious threat to the future of the lion population in Africa. FMC Corporation refused to comment for the piece.[6] [7]
[edit] Recently
In 2001, FMC spun off its energy, airport, and food equipment businesses into a separate company named FMC Technologies, Inc.
In 2006 FMC Corporation celebrated 75 years being listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Pierre Brondeau has been named President and Chief Executive Officer succeeding William G. Walter, effective January 1, 2010. Mr. Brondeau was formerly with Dow Chemical and prior to that Rohm & Haas.[8]
A former FMC site in San Jose, California is the proposed location for New Earthquakes Stadium, a new soccer-specific stadium for the San Jose Earthquakes.
