On December 20, 2011, FMC Corporation marked the company's 80th year of listing on the New York Stock Exchange with the ringing of The Closing Bell by Pierre Brondeau, FMC president, CEO and chairman. FMC listed on the NYSE on April 23, 1931, as the Food Machinery Corporation. 

“Our leaders came to the New York Stock Exchange 80 years ago to access the largest pool of capital available to help FMC accelerate its growth and fund international expansion," said Brondeau. "Today, FMC continues to focus on growth across all of our businesses and around the globe through our Vision 2015 strategy. 

“We are proud to have such a longstanding relationship with the New York Stock Exchange, which has evolved as NYSE Euronext into the first truly global financial marketplace," added Brondeau.
